Gratitude may be one of the most overlooked tools that we all have access to everyday. Cultivating gratitude doesn't cost any money and it certainly doesn't take much time, but the benefits are enormous. Research reveals gratitude can have several benefits:
1. Opens the door to more relationships;
2. Improves physical and psychological health;
3. Enhances empathy and reduces aggression;
4. Increases resiliency;
5. Improves sleep.
We all have the ability and opportunity to cultivate gratitude. Simply take a few moments to focus on all that you have - rather than complaining about all the things you think you deserve. Developing an "attitude of gratitude" is one of the simpliest ways to improve your satisfaction with life.
