Gratitude Is A Must Be Grateful Everyday

One recent December, at age 53, John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low: his small law firm was failing; he was struggling through a painful second divorce; he had grown distant from his two older children and was afraid he might lose contact with his young daughter; he was living in a tiny apartment where he froze in the winter and baked in the summer; he was 40 pounds overweight; his girlfriend had just broken up with him; and overall, his dearest life dreams--including hopes of upholding idealistic legal principles and of becoming a judge--seemed to have slipped beyond his reach. Then, during a desperate walk in the hills on New Year's Day, John was struck by the belief that his life might become at least tolerable if, instead of focusing on what he didn't have, he could find some way to be grateful for what he had. Inspired by a beautiful, simple note his ex-girlfriend had sent to thank him for his Christmas gift, John imagined that he might find a way to feel grateful by writing thank-you notes. To keep himself going, he set himself a goal--come what may--of writing 365 thank-you notes in the coming year. One by one, day after day, he began to handwrite thank yous--for gifts or kindnesses he'd received from loved ones and coworkers, from past business associates and current foes, from college friends and doctors and store clerks and handymen and neighbors, and anyone, really, absolutely anyone, who'd done him a good turn, however large or small. Immediately after he'd sent his very first notes, significant and surprising benefits began to come John's way--from financial gain to true friendship, from weight loss to inner peace. While John wrote his notes, the economy collapsed, the bank across the street from his office failed, but thank-you note by thank-you note, John's whole life turned around. 365 Thank Yous is a rare memoir: its touching, immediately accessible message--and benefits--come to readers from the plainspoken storytelling of an ordinary man. Kralik sets a believable, doable example of how to live a miraculously good life. To read 365 Thank Yous is to be changed.

In life, we tend to focus more on all the things that are not working for us instead of looking at all the things that have been working. All the blessings that are behind and in front of you. That's what a gratitude journal does. Each day you wake up you remind yourself of all the things that have been working in your life and throughout the day you are consciously counting your blessings. This allows you to focus on only positive influences, therefore impacting the law of attraction. Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you are right. When you focus on positive thoughts you will become aware of how good you are and how blessed you are to wake up daily. You will gain more self-confidence, extend yourself more to others, stop feeling sorry for yourself, be more courageous and have more faith in yourself. Throughout this journal I have incorporated the law of attraction and gratitude quotes that you can reflect on daily. I have also added a list of items that you can be thankful for. Spend at least 3 days each week reflecting on the things that you are grateful for. Add notes on the notes page.

Gratitude, like other positive emotions, has inspired many theological and philosophical writings, but it has inspired very little vigorous, empirical research. In an effort to remedy this oversight, this volume brings together prominent scientists from various disciplines to examine what has become known as the most-neglected emotion. The volume begins with the historical, philosophical, and theoretical foundations of gratitude, then presents the current research perspectives from social, personality, and developmental psychology, as well as from primatology, anthropology, and biology. The volume also includes a comprehensive, annotated bibliography of research on gratitude. This work contributes a great deal to the growing positive psychology initiative and to the scientific investigation of positive human emotions. It will be an invaluable resource for researchers and students in social, personality, and developmental, clinical, and health psychology, as well as to sociologists and cultural anthropologists.

What is the secret to happiness? Is it an unlimited bank account? Is it a perfect life in which everything goes your way? Or is it being able to achieve all your goals and dreams? The truth is that if you lack this one critical thing, you could have all those advantages plus a herd of puppies in your backyard, and it would not be enough. Even more surprising is that you don't need any of those things at all to feel joyful and fulfilled in life. It is not glamorous or talked about much in our gratification-seeking world, but if you are missing this vital part in your heart, everything else becomes meaningless. With gratitude, life is good no matter how bad it gets, and without it, life can never be good enough. When you gripe about what you don't have and forget to count your blessings, you always come up short. Adding new and better things into your life won't fill the void.

Gratitude is one of the many positive emotions humans exhibit. It's about focusing on what's good in our lives and being thankful for the things that we have been blessed with.Gratitude doesn't just feel good; it refreshes the spirit; having or possessing the habit of showing gratitude can also be good for us. Feeling grateful on a regular basis can have a positive effect on our lives both physically, spiritually and emotionally. Sometimes, the feelings of gratitude happen spontaneously. But we can also create feelings of gratitude by deliberately counting our blessings. Slow down, relax and notice the good things around you. For example: "Wow, the sky is so beautiful today! What an incredible world we live in," or, "oh, I met Jessica at the shopping mall! It was so nice of her to have helped me yesterday." Be grateful for even the little things in your life.Noticing the things you're grateful for is just the first step in building the habit of gratitude, but you can also try other amazing ways of showing gratitude, like taking the time to thank people or pausing to appreciate a star-filled sky.
