Human beings possess the characteristic trait of
complaining about everything and comparing
achievements with others. This comparison makes
them feel low and pushes them to achieve even
more so that she/he can beat the competition.
This leads to an endless race and pursuit of
money and power. Most of us are trapped in this
vicious circle trying to fulfill all our desires,
and as a result, we end up accumulating much more
material wealth than we need. We often mistake
material wealth as a security for life, but in
reality, it is not. With more money and power
comes more worries and tension. The best way to
alleviate stress and unhappiness is to cultivate
gratitude. Practicing gratitude every day will
shift our focus from material pursuits to
spiritual pursuits. Every day, when we practice
being thankful for whatever we have, the level of
stress, tension, and over-ambitious nature of
anyone gets curtailed. Instead of negative
emotions and overdrive for achievements, we find
inner peace that teaches us to be positive, open,
and empathetic.

Once we become sympathetic, we can lead a
sensible life. Instead of focusing only on our
achievements, we will become helpful and
responsible. We can find the inner strength to
help others who do not have what we have. We will
be happily able to help the needy without
complaining about our lives anymore. How to
Practice Gratitude? Practicing gratitude every
day will make you much more thankful for the life
you already have, which is probably better than
people existing on this earth. You can practice
gratitude by journaling or by making a gratitude
list. You can also practice gratitude by leading
a good life to make the creator happy. How can
practicing gratitude help you lead a more
contented life? The answer is to enhance your
awareness of the here and now. You will not be
worried about your future or sad about your past
experiences. You will only be present at the
moment and utilize it optimally.

Gratitude encourages you to find happiness and
appreciation in all that you own. Doing so helps
eliminate comparisons. It makes you focus on your
strengths which will make you more capable of
achieving more. When you focus on your strengths,
you will naturally tend towards setting realistic
goals for yourself that would be achievable
without compromising on your personal life and
relationships. Gratitude also helps you stay true
to yourself and add more value to your
life. Practicing gratitude will make you more
empathetic and open towards relationships. This
will develop close bonds and maintain those bonds
for the rest of our lives. Having loved ones
around can boost your self-esteem and make you
happy and positive. After all, humans cannot
survive alone. You will be able to take care of
your health and also let go of your past which
will help in having good mental health as well.
Gratitude instills a feeling of positivity which
helps in taking up challenges easily.
