Saving the emotion of "Gratitude"


So, the question for today is this . . . how can we "save" the emotion of "gratitude" from extinction???


Well . . . we first need to acknowledge why people may be "ungrateful" in the first place. . .


With some reasons being . . . early childhood conditioning . . . or . . . traumatic experiences.


But . . . what ever the cause . . . many habits can manifest over the years like . . .


Comparing

Self-pity

Complaining

Isolation

Entitlement

and busyness.


So, what are the 4 A's of "gratitude" we need to practice . . . in today's world???


Well . . . they would be . . .


"Appreciation" - recognize and value the positive aspects and people in your life


"Approval" - approve of the good things that happen to you


"Admiration" - feel inspired by the positive qualities of others


"Attention" - listen patiently, quietly, calmly and thoughtfully without interrupting


You see . . . "practicing" these "gratitude" actions . . . can "boost" your self-esteem and the self-esteem of others.


Some other ways to "save" the emotion of "gratitude" from extinction would be . . .


"Notice" - what you have in your life, no matter how small


"Think" - about why you have received a gift and who played a role in making it possible


"Feel" - the positive emotions that comes with receiving from others


"Do" - something to express your appreciation, like journaling, writing letters or making time to talk with friends.


Because "LIFE" is short PEOPLE . . .


And we need to bring "positive", grateful, thankful appreciation . . . back into our life!!!


Mark Twain once said . . .


"There isn't time - so brief is life . . . for bickering, apologies, heartburning, callings to account . . . there is only time for "LOVING" . . . and but an instant, so to speak, for that."


So in this crazy "unhappy" world of today . . . "appreciate" life and man-kind . . . and spread the "love" this holiday season!!!


And maybe, just maybe . . . if we practice hard enough . . . thankfulness, gratitude and appreciation . . . will rub off on the new year of 2025!!!
