Introduction: Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy because we will always want to have something else or something more.
What is gratefulness: Gratefulness is being warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits received; Gratitude was once described as "a habit of the heart." Like love, it is a choice, and not just an emotion.
Occasions for expressing gratefulness: Gratitude can have a lasting positive impact if we work towards incorporating it into our daily lives. The expression of gratitude is a self-promoting exercise, grateful people are found to be more likely to respond with gratitude to a wider range of scenarios and recognize the beneficence on the part of others. When you think about expressing gratitude and thanks, how does it make you feel? Embarrassed? Awkward? You are not alone. For some, expressing gratitude does not come easily, even to those people who mean the most to us. Whether it's a friend, teacher, or parent, the positive impact of a little bit of gratitude can have immense for both parties.
It is often the simplest of gestures that speak volumes in showing your gratitude. We all have people in our lives who inspire us and generally just make life better by being in it; here we will look at ways to express gratitude to those who should really hear it.
Say the words! Words are powerful and the simplest, most direct, way to express gratitude to the people we may take for granted. Given proximity, a verbal expression of your appreciation in is effective - if you can't do it in person, make the phone call and brighten somebody's day.
2. Write a gratitude letter or note: Spend some time thinking about what you appreciate most about your friends, teacher, or parents and draft a letter by hand, expressing your sentiments. While recognizing your gratitude is important just writing it down is enough to make you feel warm inside - actually reading the letter out loud is worth so much more.
Maybe jumping in with a full gratitude letter is too big a first step for you to make, that's OK! Why not try a thank you note in a thoughtfully selected or handmade card? While writing thank you notes is a bit of a lost art; it takes almost no time at all but is a sincere expression of gratitude.
3. Show gratitude through creative expression: We can't all be talented artists, but it really is the thought and effort put in that counts. Often homemade gifts mean the most, a little bit of creativity goes a long way.
4. Give a gratitude gift: When choosing a gift aimed specifically at expressing gratitude, opt for meaningful over monetary value. Gratitude in itself is a gift but giving a thoughtful, personal gift that can be kept, displayed and treasured is something really special.
5. Express your appreciation face to face with a gratitude visit: While expressing gratitude in person might be a big step for some, the gesture of going out of your way to tell someone how much you appreciate them is enough for everyone to feel the benefits. If you can't make the visit in person, send a personalized video message.
6. Ask how they are (and listen to their response!): It's easy to feel overwhelmed; the simple act of actively listening to your loved ones can be an effective way to show you value them. Put down your phone, remain attentive and let them steer the conversation.
7. Make a gratitude scrapbook: If you are thinking of how to show appreciation for a teacher, try making your own scrapbook or even better, ask your entire class to get involved, each student can add a page of gratitude then put it all together in a book. Make one for your friend or parents and fill it with photographs of special moments over the years.
Friend, teachers and parents are probably the people we're most grateful for but show least gratitude towards. Expressing gratitude is personal to you you know the person best, think about what would have the most value to them.
