Harnessing the Power of Gratitute

The practice of gratitude a s a tool for happiness has been in the mainstream for years. Long term studies support gratitude's effectiveness, suggesting that a positive appreciative attitude contributes to greater success in work, greater health, peak performance in sports and business, a higher sense of well-being and a faster rate of recovery from surgery.

But while we may acknowledge gratitude's many benefits, it still can be difficult to sustain. So many of us are trained to notice what is broke, undone, or lacking in our lives. And for gratitude to meet it's full healing potential in our lives it needs to become more than just a thanksgiving word.

We have to learn a new way of looking at things - a new habit, and that can take some time. That's why practising gratitude makes so much sense. When we start giving thanks for all we have, instead of complaining about what we lack, we give ourselves the chance to see all of life as an opportunity and a blessing.
