Helps us psychologically  

The practice of gratitude helps you sleep better, improves self-esteem, reduces aggression, enhances positivity in relationships, and reduces symptoms of and depression. Gratitude can improve your overall emotional well-being, as it helps you cope with the daily stressors of life.

Can help ward off negative emotions

When you feel grateful, it is practically impossible to have negative emotions at the same time. Because having these conflicting feelings is more difficult than you think. Research on this topic shows that people who have high levels of gratitude have low levels of resentment, regret, and envy.

Helps improve our physical well-being

The relationship between gratitude and physical health is still developing. But studies so far suggest that the more grateful a person is, the more likely they will enjoy better physical health. Grateful people report experiencing fewer aches and pains. And they feel healthier and are more likely to take care of their physical health. One study even found that gratitude was linked to fewer signs of heart disease.

The value of living a life filled with gratitude is abundant, but the most crucial benefit of all is that you simply feel good in your day to day life. Gratitude promotes joy, peace, happiness and life satisfaction.
