This Tuesday we are focusing on #Miracles
#Miracles – Count your blessings and be grateful for all the little things in life. Life is full of miracles, the more we see them, the more they show up. It is so easy to take life for granted, when we don’t see the miracles all around us, and we don’t appreciate our friends and family, then life losses it’s appeal. Stay grateful and make the habit of counting your blessings everyday.
When was the last time you stopped to really think about the things you’re thankful for?
There are a number of reason why we should show a little gratitude and how they benefit us:
Gratitude opens to the door to more relationships – According to a 2014 study published in Emotion, The study found that thanking a new acquaintance makes them more likely to seek an ongoing relationship. So whether you thank a stranger for holding the door or send a thank-you note to that colleague who helped you with a project, acknowledging other people’s contributions can lead to new opportunities.
Gratitude improves your physical health – according to a 2012 study published in Personality and Individual Differences. Not surprisingly, grateful people are also more likely to take care of their health. They exercise more often and are more likely to attend regular check-ups, which is likely to contribute to further longevity.
Gartitde improves your psychological Health – Robert Emmons, a leading gratitude researcher, has conducted multiple studies on the link between gratitude and well-being. His research confirms that gratitude effectively increases happiness and reduces depression.
Gratitude enhances empathy and reduces aggression – Grateful people are more likely to behave in a prosocial manner, even when others behave less kindly, according to a 2012 study by the University of Kentucky. Study participants who ranked higher on gratitude scales were less likely to retaliate against others, even when given negative feedback. They experienced more sensitivity and empathy toward other people and a decreased desire to seek revenge.
Grateful people will sleep better – By spending 15 minutes jotting down some grateful statements before bed can help to improve your mode which in tu
rn will mean you will sleep better and longer. according to a 2011 study published in Applied Psychology: Health and Well-Being.Gratitude improves your self esteem – A 2014 study published in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology found that gratitude increased athletes’ self-esteem, an essential component to optimal performance. Other studies have shown that gratitude reduces social comparisons. Rather than becoming resentful toward people who have more money or better jobs—a major factor in reduced self-esteem—grateful people are able to appreciate other people’s accomplishments.
Gratitude increased your mental Strength – For years, research has shown gratitude not only reduces stress, but it may also play a major role in overcoming trauma.
We all have something in our lives that makes them truly AMAZING – the smallest thing for you could be massive for someone else, I thought the video below was a perfect example of how we should be grateful of what we have.
