Being grateful means feeling the desire to thank someone for their help or kindness. Grateful people acknowledge the goodness in their lives and value it.
Giving thanks is strongly associated with greater happiness. It helps people feel more positive and build strong relationships. Studies show that those who often express thanks feel better about their lives.
You can develop the quality of being grateful by writing thank-you letters or emails. This can make yourself happier and keep better relationship with another person. No time to write? Thank someone mentally. It may help just to think about someone who has done something nice for you, and thank him or her in your heart. Another way is to make it a habit to write down thoughts about the gifts you have received.
