It's usually around this time of year that people tend to give the question
more thought, but maybe—just maybe—it's worth exploring more often.
Gratitude isn't just an expression of thankfulness for what you receive
in life; it's also an affirmation of the goodness that exists in the world.
Making gratitude a habit requires patience and focus, but it can
positively affect how you approach your day-to-day. As it turns out,
acknowledging what's good in your life is actually good for you.
From strengthened relationships and increased happiness to improved
physical health and boosted self-esteem, practicing gratitude has been
linked to a number of benefits. And the best news is: though the subject
of gratitude may come up around the holidays, you can practice it—and
reap the benefits—year-round. Here's how to start practicing gratitude
and enjoy the many benefits of feeling thankful.
