GRATITUDE

Hello everyone,Lets talk about Gratitude. 

GRATITUDE is a warm feeling of gratefulness towards the world or towards specific individuals.GRATITUDE has also been shown to foster physical health.For example, in one study, if teens wrote letters of gratitude to other people over a month, they were more inclined to eat healthier food. Arguably, when people feel grateful, they feel an obligation to reciprocate the efforts of other individuals. Therefore, rather than indulge and sacrifice their own health—a behaviour that would dismiss the efforts that other individuals invested in them—they may feel compelled to live a healthier life. Alternatively, gratitude tends to elicit positive emotions, and these positive emotions tend to divert attention to favourable possibilities in the future. Individuals become more inclined to engage in behaviours that could benefit this future, such as healthy eating. Participants who engaged in a gratitude exercise showed increases in their experiences of positive emotion immediately after the exercise, and this effect was strongest for participants who were asked to think about a person for whom they are grateful. Participants who had grateful personalities to begin with showed the greatest benefit from these gratitude exercises.The law of attraction is also a useful principle, when understood and not used to justify consumerism or escapism. It explains why a gratitude practice is so powerful. When your energy vibrates at a level of gratitude,you invite more opportunities to express that gratitude.
