Gratitude - 7 Simple Steps To Becoming More Grateful In 7 Days When we talk about the practice of gratitude, we're not talking about saying 'thank you' or counting your possessions. Rather, the practice of gratitude is about consciously taking time to be grateful for all the good things in our lives, and altering our perspective to focus on that gratitude in our day to day lives. There is an increasing global interest in gratitude, with increasing numbers of articles and studies being published, but why all the fuss, and why now? Practicing gratitude can have many positive benefits, both psychological and physical, so why do many of us not practice gratitude in our lives today? It could be that we're just too busy or that our cultures are more inclined to negative thinking than positive. It could also be that the practice of meaningful gratitude is simply not 'normal' in modern society. Most likely though, it's because we live in a world where we're taught to be ambitious, always striving for better. By doing so however, we often forget to appreciate the things we do have and spend our lives thinking about what we lack rather than the good in our lives. It's no wonder that challenging this perspective can have such strong positive benefits. But can being grateful really have positive psychological benefits? The short answer is yes and on day 6 we'll look at this in more detail. At the University of California, Berkeley, the Greater Good Science Centre; a centre devoted to exploring the 'roots of happy and compassionate individuals, strong social bonds, and altruistic behavior-the science of a meaningful life', engages in a range of research into gratitude. Their collected scientific studies show that practicing gratitude can not only increase happiness, but also allow you to lead a more meaningful life, allowing you to experience the world in a better way.
