It can be easy to move through your day to day life while ignoring the magnitude of what your friends, family, and even strangers bring to benefit your well-being, each and every day. When you make a conscious effort to express the gratitude that you have for any given act, you can also be benefiting yourself when it comes to the state of your happiness.

Setting the Intention of Gratitude May Make You Happier
Setting the Intention of Gratitude May Make You Happier
Foster New Relationships
The simple act of showing another person gratitude for any act they perform for you in your daily life is an important step in building new relationships with people. Demonstrating that you value their impact on your wellbeing, whether it is someone holding the door for you or something larger in scale, will initiate a positive interaction that can lead to a lasting connection.
Psychological Relief
The world can be a frustrating place at times. This can lead towards high levels of stress and negative emotions such as anger and envy aimed at your surroundings. Taking the holistic approach towards bettering these emotional burdens starts with taking the positive step of showing people that you interact with that you are grateful for what they bring to your life. You can flip your emotional state around while improving the well-being of others in the process.
Better Sleep
Going through your evening while taking time aside to recognize the things in your life that you are grateful for is an exercise in mindfulness. Taking time to show your gratitude to those who have positively impacted your life in the past or present can help bring your mind the ease necessary for a longer and more restful sleep.
Positive Social Benefits
It is easy to look around yourself at others and become envious of their successes while comparing their lives to yours. Showing gratitude towards individuals for their achievements allows you to relieve that potential tension and appreciate that they have something positive going on in their lives. It takes away the burden of constantly comparing yourself to others, which also frees up your mind and allows you to thrive.
Showing those around you that you are grateful for what they bring to your life each and every day is a very simple act. But, through practicing this effort on a daily basis, you can bring them and yourself a level of happiness that you might have never experienced before.
