SPOTLIGHT FEATURE
Occupying Space and the Meaning of Thanksthankstaking
By: Nancy Magpusao

Expressing thanks ought to be a year-round practice. When we purposefully express thanks for individuals, communities, or things, we exercise appreciation, affirmation, and validation. The forms of thanks may be brought to the visible, verbal, physical, written, personal, or public realm. Individually, when we occupy the practiced space of thankfulness our health benefits, gratitude amplifies, mood elevates, blood pressure lowers and cardiovascular and immune system are boosted. The default setting in our brain's wiring for negativity or tendency to notice gaps may be altered. Collectively, the (non)practice of institutionalized recognition and non-recognition of individuals, communities or actions has psychological and developmental health implications across spaces, such as education and social justice. -Continue to entire article.
