Did you know? Gratitude encourages optimism
Sporting an optimistic attitude makes us happier, improves our health and may even lengthen lifespan by a few years. Gratitude is strongly correlated with optimism.
Practising gratitude can bring joy and optimism into our lives because it enhances our sense of wellbeing, deepens our relationships and strengthens our ties with others. By expressing gratitude, we show appreciation for the good things in our lives, which can lead to increased happiness, positive emotions and satisfaction.
Grateful people also tend to be more empathetic, forgiving and hopeful, and they have higher levels of self-esteem and emotional resilience. Gratitude can also deepen our connections with others, making us feel more noticed, appreciated and respected. By recognising the role that others play in our happiness, we can strengthen our relationships and cultivate a sense of abundance and thankfulness in our lives.
