Gratitude and it’s importance
Keywords:
gratitude, expressing, having right feelingsAbstract
Gratitude is the act of expressing our feelings for others and for ourselves. We not only make others happy with simple words of love and praise, but we also feel a lot better about ourselves and our lives. Gratitude is about having the right feelings at the right time about the right things. It's inextricably linked to self-control and motivation. It may not provide immediate relief from pain and stress, but it restores our sense of control. Gratitude is a tool for increasing happiness in the context of positive psychology. The benefits of gratitude are not linked to any sort of pathology or religion, but rather to a desire to create healthy and thriving people and societies. As the preceding paragraphs demonstrated, there are numerous ways to express gratitude. Maybe it's a gratitude journal, or maybe it's treating a stranger with kindness because someone did something nice for you. Try practising gratitude the next time you have some free time. You might be surprised by the advantages it provides. Please share your thoughts and experiences with this important emotion, as always.
