Gratitude

I have been practicing "Gratitude" for a long time now and I know it helps me greatly.

The experts (from Psychology Today) say it helps with the following:

It helps open the doors to more relationships.

It helps improve your physical wellbeing.

It helps improve your psychological health.

It enhances empathy and reduces aggression.

It helps you sleep better (this is for sure, after this walk, where this was taken, I had a two hour nap!).

It helps improve self-esteem and;

It increases your mental strength.

I know that all the above have improved for me.

Yesterday I was walking/sitting/eating this beautiful place, Montreux - Switzerland, and I took this amazing picture and had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude, after having spent a wonderful weekend with friends and then we sat out in the sunshine, having lunch, talking/exchanging and generally just enjoying ourselves!

Remember we all have the ability (and opportunities) to cultivate gratitude and doing this is a simple way to improve satisfaction in your life.
