Gratitude is Medicine – Here’s the Proof

By: Michael R. Mantell, Ph.D.

Grateful?

Good – what’s good about your daily life regardless of what you have or not?

Recognize – what can go right?

Appreciative – are you appreciative of what you have…and don’t have?

Thankful – who have you sincerely thanked today?

Emotional – can you express emotion in a positive manner?

Fulfilled – you are either fulfilled or on the way to being fulfilled…never unfulfilled

Understanding – do you have the lens to understand that whatever happens always happens for the good?

Liked – do you look for what you can like in every person and situation you come across in life?

On Gratitude

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 
It turns what we have into enough, and more. 
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. 
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. 
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, 
and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
