How to learn gratitude

Psychologists believe that it is extremely necessary to thank yourself.

This will help you love yourself, focus on the good, increase self-esteem and develop self-confidence and self-support.

Following this comes an understanding of how to manage your life and influence the world around you.

Start keeping a gratitude journal. Write each point slowly, with details.

Describe something for which you are grateful to yourself. It can be anything.

Then write down what you are grateful for in life, your family, friends and other people.

Pay attention to the people who made the things you are grateful for possible. Say thank you to them personally if possible.

Notice surprises - those events in your life that you did not expect.

Don't overwork yourself if it's difficult for you to do this.

How to properly thank people

Express your feelings sincerely. People always feel when they are being honest and when they are flattering and lying.

Choose the following words depending on the situation:

  • Thank you!
  • I am grateful to you for your help!
  • I am very grateful that you came to my aid in difficult times!I am incredibly grateful to you for your invaluable and useful advice!
  • Not a single word of gratitude can describe my joy and all my feelings!

In addition, even if they presented something not entirely successfully, still say a soft and warm “thank you.”

Previously, we told you how to understand that you have fallen out of love.
