Being aware of the moments when you feel grateful, to yourself or others, no matter how you express it, can rewire your brain for the better. According to research, merely feeling thankful, even if you don't express those thoughts with others, can improve your mental health over time and have long-term benefits on the brain. Furthermore, expressing and appreciating thankfulness from others may improve your connection as well as your general well-being.

Even social media may be depressing at times, but sharing your thankfulness on it might help to create a more cheerful online environment. Share a photo of a place near you that you're grateful for, or an uplifting moment from a recent event or a lesson you learned from a book you read. Spreading kindness in a creative and uplifting way is one way we can all do our part to remind each other that we have a lot to be grateful for in this digital era.

We frequently remember to be glad at major milestones such as graduation or marriage, but it can be more difficult to be grateful for the simple things we accomplish on a daily basis. If we are conscious of ourselves, each other, and our surroundings, we may train our thoughts to practice gratitude more frequently. Let's make it a habit to spread goodwill on a daily basis.
