Gratitude is the feeling of appreciation expressed by an individual when another does something good for them.
Usually when someone does something nice for you, you immediately say thank you. Saying thank you is a good thing but gratitude is more than just saying the words thank you.
It is more about feeling thankful and not just saying thank you. It is the emotion you feel, the feeling of gratefulness in your heart, that is what gratitude is about.
It is important you make this a daily habit. Practicing gratitude not only makes you a grateful person, it also makes you a more positive person and gives you a positive outlook on life which in turn improves your mood and makes you happier and healthier.
It is easier to be thankful when everything is going right in our lives. But on days when things seem to go wrong, we find ourselves complaining and feeling sad rather than thankful. But it is even more important to find a reason to be thankful on such days.
This 30-day gratitude journal is meant to help you recognize and acknowledge all the things that you should be thankful for. And really, there’s always something to be thankful for.
“Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful”
Buddha
