Grateful Everyday

Gratitude is one of the many positive emotions humans exhibit. It's about focusing on what's good in our lives and being thankful for the things that we have been blessed with.Gratitude doesn't just feel good; it refreshes the spirit; having or possessing the habit of showing gratitude can also be good for us. Feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a positive effect on our lives both physically, spiritually and emotionally. Sometimes, the feelings of gratitude happen spontaneously. But we can also create feelings of gratitude by deliberately counting our blessings. Slow down, relax and notice the good things around you. For example: "Wow, the sky is so beautiful today! What an incredible world we live in," or, "oh, I met Jessica at the shopping mall! It was so nice of her to have helped me yesterday." Be grateful for even the little things in your life.Noticing the things you're grateful for is just the first step in building the habit of gratitude, but you can also try other amazing ways of showing gratitude, like taking the time to thank people or pausing to appreciate a star-filled sky. Start now, what's good about this moment?
