Health Benefits of Gratefulness

Greetings! This is a great time to focus on the holistic benefits of gratefulness. Gratefulness is appreciation. It is thankfulness. A Biblical proverb even says that it is like medicine. That ought to get your attention. If being grateful leads to a healthier life, I'm sure you want to practice it on a daily basis. So, let me share with you a few things I've learned about being in a state of gratefulness. Studies prove that gratefulness improves your quality of sleep, which is necessary for health. It is during sleep that the inner workings of our bodies go through the processes of restoration, rejuvenation, refreshing, healing, and more.

Gratefulness also reduces stress levels. It's difficult to be stressed when you focus on your blessings. I've learned that it is helpful for me to search for the good in everything I experience, even if it's not what I want to be experiencing. For instance, maybe the reason that relationship ended is because it no longer serves who you are in this season of your life. Maybe the diagnosis will motivate you to make lifestyle changes that create optimum health. Perhaps being terminated from your job will cause you to finally start the business you've been dreaming of for so long.

Gratefulness increases your energy level and reduces pain. This benefit will eliminate the excuses for not exercising. I believe that gratefulness combined with exercise can be life changing, as exercise has immense health benefits that mirror the benefits of gratefulness.

Gratefulness improves relationships. I think you would agree that it's easier to enjoy being with people who have a positive attitude. A positive attitude promotes an atmosphere of joy and peace and love. This type of atmosphere allows for authentic expression. In other words, the vibes of grateful people have an impact on how comfortable we feel being ourselves in their presence.

Gratefulness leads to more smiles. All it takes is a smile to boost your immune system. A strong immune system helps to keep you from being susceptible to the myriad of bacteria, viruses, and other unwanted organisms that we encounter daily. So, smile😊, be grateful, and watch what happens. What are you grateful for today? Share this with your family and friends so that they can post what they're grateful for in the comments section, as well. I hope the relaxing scene in this video will allow you to focus on your abundant blessings...
