Welcome to your first Well-being Challenge!

Each quarter, you’ll have the opportunity to take on a new challenge. Just one simple action that can make a big improvement in your emotional, financial or physical well-being.


Whether or not you’ve taken the Costco well-being pledge, you can still benefit by participating in these challenges. You might start a healthy new habit (or get rid of a bad one). Learn something that inspires you to make positive changes. Or you might discover a Costco benefit that can make a real difference in your well-being.

Here’s this quarter’s well-being challenge:

emotional goal Spend 5 minutes a day focusing on things you’re grateful for

Research has shown that gratitude is associated with greater happiness. It helps people feel more positive emotions, have good experiences, improve their health, deal with challenges and build strong relationships.*

And it’s so easy to do. Make it the first thing you do in the morning, or the last thing you do at night. Take 5 minutes to focus on your gratitude list. You can write it down or not. Your list can include big things, like your health, family and friends, or everyday pleasures, like a beautiful sunset, a delicious meal or an afternoon of gardening.

Not only can this new habit change your perspective, it can reduce your stress, which can greatly affect your physical well-being, and make you more resilient.

And, best of luck with your challenge.
