Gratitude is important to happiness. Studies show that consistently grateful people are happier and more satisfied with their lives; they even feel more physically healthy and spend more time exercising.
- It’s impossible to feel stressed or angry in the same moment that you feel grateful!
- Gratitude fosters forbearance- it’s harder to feel disappointed with someone when you are feeling grateful toward him or her.
- Gratitude connects you to the natural world, because one of the easiest things to feel grateful for is the beauty of nature.
Things to do:
Keep a gratitude journal-lists . Add to it each eve and read before you close your eyes at night.
Walk and be grateful. You can create a “mantra” of gratefulness as you walk.
-Inhale (4 counts while stepping 4) a sentence of gratitude- personal or to do with natural setting
-Exhale negativity and fear
