Gratitude is the practice of recognizing and appreciating the positive aspects of life. It goes beyond saying “thank you” and involves consciously focusing on what we have rather than what we lack. Scientific research shows that practicing gratitude can significantly improve mental, physical, and social well-being. Psychologically, it reduces stress, enhances happiness, and increases resilience. Physically, gratitude is linked to better sleep, stronger immunity, and higher energy levels. Socially, it strengthens relationships, fosters empathy, and encourages prosocial behavior.
