The Power of Gratitude

The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness (depending on the context). In some ways gratitude encompasses all of these meanings. Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives. In the process, people usually recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves. As a result, gratitude also helps people connect to something larger than themselves as individuals — whether to other people, nature, or a higher power.

There have been countless scientific studies and research from renowned psychologists that have found people who maintain a regular gratitude practice or simply consciously focus on cultivating gratitude in Daily Routin, experience a much greater quality of emotional well-being and physical health than those who do not. Studies have consistently found that people who practice gratitude report fewer symptoms of illness, including depression, more optimism and happiness, stronger relationships, more generous behavior, and many other benefits.

How To Cultivate Gratitude:

Gratitude is the most wonderful way to focus on what we have, rather than what we don’t have at the moment . Regularly practicing gratitude can help us to appreciate what we have rather than always seeking for something “more” or something “new” in the hopes of increased happiness when a new level of physical or emotional needs are met. Like anything else, this is a practice that has to be cultivated and exercised regularly for it to grow stronger. Beyond simply counting our blessings every chance we get, there are a million and one various possible approaches to grateful living in our daily life – find the practices which will best suit your personal lifestyle, needs, and preferences and start reaping the benefits.

Keep a Gratitude Journal

As you write in your gratitude journal, try to challenge yourself to not write things you wrote about in previous days — this will make you look more deeply at all the little things that enhance your life and continuously give you joy … a warm home to sleep in, a pantry full of food, your favorite movie, a call or text from a friend, your health, the running water in your home, the air you breathe, a hug.

You can write in your journal just before bed, first thing when you wake up in the morning, or just before you meditate or pray. The time of day isn’t important; what is important is that you consistently take a few moments to consciously focus your mind on your blessings. Commit to keeping a journal for 30 days. What we positively focus our attention on expands in our life. By offering gratitude for all the goodness we experience, we’re inviting the universe to give us more and more of what we seek.
