When was the last time you expressed gratitude to someone or for something in your life? In the busy-ness of daily life, we hardly take out time to pause, pay attention and appreciate all that we are given, materially, by nature and relationships. And by not doing so, we miss out on something which has the potential to enhance our overall well-being.
Research shows that grateful people stronger immune system, lower blood pressure, higher levels of positive emotions and optimism and vibrancy. Gratitude reduces anxiety and substance abuse disorders, and is a key resiliency factor in the prevention of suicide. It blocks toxic emotions, such as envy, resentment, regret and depression.
