How does practicing gratitude facilitate positivity?

 


Often life can get so chaotic to a point where one forgets all the little things, they should be grateful for. Practicing gratitude can give a person a moment of relief.  Being grateful can give someone who is going through an unfortunate life event hope. If there is one or two things a person can be grateful for, it can put a person’s mind at ease that not everything is going terribly and there is some good that they need to be thankful for in their lives. Being thankful allows one to appreciate and when one is filled with a sense of appreciation, nothing but positive emotions start to manifest. Appreciating that at least you still have a life, gives one a chance to be hopeful that things will change for the better and that it is never too late to do something that will have a positive impact in their life. Practicing gratitude can facilitate positive emotions in a sense that you are thankful for something that makes you feel good or gives one a sense of purpose in their lives. Not practicing gratitude can result in someone focusing on the things they do not have, and they will never reach a level of satisfaction. Practicing gratitude shifts the focus from what is missing to what is present. It evokes positive emotions and motivates one to continue doing things that will make themselves or someone else happy. Practicing gratitude increases a person’s well-being, because you are thankful for all the good no matter how bad a situation may be, you are still thankful for life and a chance to make things better.
