TODAY'S LEARNING
Gratitude Letter
One of the most effective ways to maintain mindfulness is to write a letter of thanks to someone who has positively impacted your life. The actions and attitude of the person you have thought about do not have to be extraordinary. That special person could have had a positive effect on you in more than one way. It is therapeutic to bring this experience to your mind because this person made you feel good. The act of writing a letter of gratitude encourages you to be brave in sharing your innermost feelings, helps you see things from another person's point of view, and shows compassion and love. It may surprise you to learn that there are advantages even if you write the letter but never deliver it to the recipient.
How to Do It
Call to mind someone who did something for you for which you are extremely grateful but to whom you never expressed your deep gratitude. This could be a relative, friend, teacher, or colleague. Try to pick someone who is still alive and could meet you face-to-face in the next week. It may be most helpful to select a person or act that you haven’t thought about for a while—something that isn’t always on your mind.
Now, write a letter to one of these people, guided by the following steps.
Write as though you are addressing this person directly (“Dear ______”).
Don’t worry about grammar or spelling.
Describe in specific terms what this person did, why you are grateful to this person, and how this person’s behavior affected your life. Try to be as concrete as possible.
Describe what you are doing in your life now and how you often remember their efforts.
Try to keep your letter to roughly one page (around 300 words).
Next, you should try if at all possible to deliver your letter in person, following these steps:
Plan a visit with the recipient. Let that person know you’d like to see them and have something special to share, but don’t reveal the exact purpose of the meeting.
When you meet, let the person know that you are grateful to them and would like to read a letter expressing your gratitude; ask that they refrain from interrupting until you’re done.
Take your time reading the letter. While you read, pay attention to their reaction as well as your own.
After you have read the letter, be receptive to their reaction and discuss your feelings together.
Remember to give the letter to the person when you leave.
If physical distance keeps you from making a visit, you may choose to arrange a phone or video chat.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY
Targeted Sound Waves Treat Pain and Depression in as Little as One 40-minute Session
A crown-like device has been relieving patients of pain and depression in clinical trials, and has the authors excited.
Called the Diadem, named for a crown-like adornment worn by sovereigns across time, it sends therapeutic sound waves to targeted regions of the brain with millimeter precision.
These sorts of non-pharma treatments can raise eyebrows with some, as for the last generation, the prescription of SSRIs for depression has been widespread and nearly universal among American clinicians.
But the paper’s lead author Tom Riis, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah, reports rave reviews among his team.
“We’ve been blown away by the positive results so far,” Rise told New Atlas. “After just a single 40-minute stimulation session, patients are showing immediate, clinically substantial improvements in symptoms.”
