Gratitude is the Best Attitude

Most people don’t realize that outwardly expressing gratitude is a kind of meta-strategy for achieving happiness.  While gratitude can mean many things to different people, whatever its form, it can act as an antidote to negative emotions, effectively neutralizing envy, avarice, hostility, worry, and irritation. This is because the practice of outwardly showing gratitude through speech or action, promotes the focus on the present moment, on appreciating your life as it is today and what has made it so.

Emerging research has recently started to draw attention to the multiple benefits of expressing gratitude, as people who are consistently grateful have been found to be relatively happier, more energetic, more hopeful, as well as report experiencing more frequent positive emotions.  They also tend to be more helpful and emphatic, more spiritual and religious, more forgiving, and less materialistic than others who are less predisposed to gratefulness.  Furthermore, the more a person is inclined to gratitude, the less likely he or she is to be depressed, anxious, lonely, envious, or neurotic.
