In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps you feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve your health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. Gratitude is more than feeling thankful: it is a deeper appreciation for someone (or something) that produces longer lasting positivity.

Although it may feel contrived at first, this mental state grows stronger with use and practice. It helps you refocus on what you have instead of what you lack. Learning to live with gratitude can help you overcome depression, have stronger self-control, greater optimism, and attract more positivity into your life.

Let's come together to express gratitude and learn to live with it everyday.
