Gratitude as a way of life

Gratitude as a way of life

Being grateful is an attitude and it ranges from saying 'thank you' when receiving a gift...to a deeper sense of thankfulness for life, looking at life through gratitude glasses - considering everything good or bad in life as a potential gift.

Gratitude is the -

  • affirmation of good things in our life existing alongside problems, challenges, & issues. Plus,
  • acknowledgement or recognition of the sources of this goodness...where does that goodness come from.

Journaling about everything good happening to us is just the beginning... the first step towards making gratitude a way of life.

Benefits of gratitude

Benefits of gratitude

Gratitude has been shown to heal us of past hurts, energize us with hope, & change our life with inspiration for the future.

The powerful positive triad of looking at 

  • the world, 
  • at other people, and 
  • at themselves 

with an attitude of gratitude brings more positive outcomes for grateful people than ungrateful (less grateful) people.

Studies have shown that when it comes to success in life, grateful people tend to be happier, more satisfied, more pro-social... but also more generous, compassionate, forgiving, & helpful.

Gratitude & life satisfaction

Gratitude & life satisfaction

Less grateful people -

  • don't get life satisfaction because they can't focus on what life is offering.
  • They focus more on resentment...what they are losing out on (scarcity mindset), and life feels like a burden to them.

Grateful people do get the feeling of injustice, of being deprived...but on the whole they focus more on the good.

It's easier to find less grateful people than ungrateful people because reciprocity... reciprocating with a good deed for something good received... is the general norm, & being called 'ungrateful' is felt as an insult.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.
