Gratitude: Increase Happiness with the Simple Act of Giving Thanks
Do you want to learn how gratitude can help you increase happiness, gain physical health, and build better relationships?
First, what is gratitude?
Gratitude is acceptance and appreciation for what we have and for those around us. It’s difficult to appreciate these things when the ego is in the way. Fortunately, there is a way to control your ego. The important thing is to ask the ego to stand aside to allow the conscious and subconscious to meet. Once they meet, it’s important to ask yourself what makes you truly happy, and make sure to be completely honest. Keep asking why you might feel a certain way and what you can do about it. You are becoming your own therapist and learning more about yourself.
This is what makes gratitude a powerful weapon: It teaches us to let go and to appreciate what’s around us. It is the impulse that leads us to the path of happiness, satisfaction, and true validation.
