Gratitude

Psychologists say that being conscious of who and what you are grateful for has real benefits, from sleeping better to being kinder and less aggressive. What are you grateful for? If your gratitude involves people in your life, have you shared your thanks with them? 

Why does gratitude do so much good? “More than other emotion, gratitude is the emotion of friendship,” “It is part of a psychological system that causes people to raise their estimates of how much value they hold in the eyes of another person. Gratitude is what happens when someone does something that causes you to realize that you matter more to that person than you thought you did.”
