Gratitude

Life May Not Be Perfect But it sure is Beautiful.
Live it With Gratitude to Improve the Quality of Your Life.

Life isn’t perfect. We all have our own struggles and life challenges like financial issues, relationship matters or health concerns. However, some of us raise the white flag and give up while the true fighters continue to combat life challenges with a smile, and gratitude. And this is what makes their not so perfect life, beautiful. Gratitude is the right attitude that helps you stay positive, and enjoy good living even when it seems like everything is falling apart. We don’t say it, research and scientific studies do.

There is compelling evidence that shows that being grateful for what you have can offer numerous benefits thereby improving the quality of your life tremendously, and some big examples of this are Ernestine Shepherd (one of the oldest competitive female bodybuilders in the world), Jessica Cox (the first licensed armless pilot), and Nick Vujicic (victim of tetra-amelia syndrome who refused to let physical limitations dictate his life).

Let’s take a look at how a simple thank you to the Universe can improve your life:

Fosters Resilience

As you become grateful for little things in life, you begin to see the silver-lining in even the worst of situations. You learn from the good, bad and ugly which makes you a stronger and resilient person from within. And resiliency is what you need to bounce back and move on with life even when you’re going through a challenging situation in your life. Resilience starts the healing process towards making your life peaceful and happy again.

Thankfulness is known to improve mental strength by increasing your patience level. Gratitude trains you to see the good in every bad situation, making you stronger and patient.

Improves Psychological Health

Did you know that by showing gratitude you can strengthen positive emotions and develop mental toughness? And positive attitude and emotions is key to replacing a multitude of toxic emotions that may arise due to life challenges or struggles that you’re put up against with. Therefore, learn to focus on and look at positive things in life instead of harping over negative things and asking the universe questions like Why me or Why my life is a mess? Gratitude is a frame of mind. It can improve your psychological health and lead to a sustainable form of happiness thereby ensuring quality living.

Improves Self-Esteem

According to a research published in Applied Sport Psychology Journal, gratitude leads to increased self-esteem. It teaches you not to waste time feeling sorry and sad for yourself. Gratitude allows you to look at life optimistically. As you start to look at your inner qualities and count your blessings, you become more comfortable in your skin which improves your self-esteem and confidence. And no health concern or physical limitation can stop you from enjoying good quality of life when you have a high self-esteem.
