READ THIS ABOUT GRATITUDE AND I JUST HAD TO SHARE IT!!! Gratitude is a rare upward spiral. When we are grateful for what we have, it brings new things to be grateful for. Studies show that gratitude increases levels of well-being, happiness, energy, health and empathy. Grateful people sleep better, cope better, have better relationships, less depression and less stress. Gratitude has even been medically proven to reduce headaches, stomach pain, coughing and sore throats. Simply put, grateful people have better lives than those who aren’t. How does one become more grateful? The same way you learn to play the piano. Commitment and practice. Many people don’t realize that gratitude is not just a serendipitous emotion but an act of will. In fact, it’s a skill, one that can be learned and deliberately cultivated. Arguably it is the ultimate success skill. If you’re not feeling gratitude, you are depriving yourself of its power in your life. Too often we forget that joy is not the result of blessings; rather, it’s the result of acknowledging those blessings. Indeed, there are none so miserable as those who will not acknowledge the good in their lives.
