Expressing Gratitude


"The Power of Thank You"

Research has proven that people who are grateful have higher levels of positive emotions like
love,
optimism,
joy,
enthusiasm, and
happiness.

“The practice of gratitude as a discipline protects a person from the destructive impulses of
envy,
resentment,
greed, and
bitterness
,” Emmons says.
He also states that those who are grateful are able to

cope better with stress,
sleep better,
have more energy, and
even have more resilience toward illness and
have greater physical health
.
