In the realm of life, we often forget about the little things that make our life worth living. As human beings, we always see emotions such as feeling jealous, envious, angry, or sad as the most negative emotions. However, it is the feeling of not being grateful enough which is the core reason behind blocking positivity into your lives.
Practicing gratitude is nothing less than a religion which can help you modify your belief system. It can instantly bring a positive shift in your life.
In fact, since childhood we are taught to build a belief system on feeling grateful of the little things in life to enhance the quality of life.
This is the major reason why kids are taught to say thankyou to anyone who gives us any gift or to any shopkeeper or vendor who offers some services.
Gratitude is equally important as feelings of happiness, joy, trust, and love. It is necessary to feel grateful not just in little things of life. Some of the events where one feels gratitude are overcoming a challenge in the job and birth of the child.
However, we miss out on feeling grateful in the little joys such as the cab driver dropping us home safely or a friend helping you to complete a task.
Thus, it is important to show gratitude whenever someone adds something to your life whether in kind or as a feeling.
How does gratitude bring a change in your change?
Whenever we feel gratitude, our brain releases the chemicals, dopamine and serotonin.
