Live Longer by Showing Your Gratitude!

Let’s admit it folkes, sometimes life tends to be exciting, dynamic, crazy fun and creates a lot of hypes without hesitation or any sign of slowing down. In the madness, it’s too incredibly easy to forget to be thankful for all the awesome things we are given in life.

But do you know what? Consistently keeping track of what you are thankful for and acting on those feelings of appreciation can not only make you happier, but actually boost your immune system and keep you healthier.

Gratitude has the rather extraordinary power to change just about every aspect of life, in very surprising ways. When gratitude is practiced in the workplace relationships are transformed, complaint is minimized, and satisfaction levels skyrocket. This effect is profound and long lasting because, essentially, gratitude rewires the brain to see and process the world differently.

People who approach life with a sense of gratitude are constantly aware of what’s wonderful in their life. Because they enjoy the fruits of their successes, they seek out more success. And when things don’t go as planned, people who are grateful can put failure into perspective.

By contrast, people who lack gratitude are never truly happy. If they succeed at a task, they don’t enjoy it. For them, a string of successes is like trying to fill a bucket with a huge leak in the bottom. And failure invariably makes them bitter, angry, and discouraged.

Therefore, if you want to be successful, you need to feel more gratitude. Fortunately, gratitude, like most emotions, is like a muscle: The more you use it, the stronger and more resilient it becomes.

In addition, you are also programming your brain to notice even more reasons to feel gratitude. You’ll quickly discover that even a bad day is full of moments that are worthy of gratitude. Success becomes sweeter; failure, less sour.

The more regularly you practice this exercise, the stronger its effects.

Trust me, this method works. Just try it for at least a week and you’ll be amazed at what a huge difference it makes. Just remember to be consistent, this works best if you commit to showing your appreciation and gratitude every day, not just when things are going great.
