    Gratitude is simply taking time to think about all the positive things in your life. Rather than ruminating on the negatives. 
    Research shows it is the single most powerful method of increasing happiness.
    Having an attitude of gratitude doesn’t cost any money. It doesn’t take much time. But the benefits of gratitude are enormous. 
    Positive psychology research has shown that gratitude touches on many aspects of our lives. Our emotions. Personality. Social dynamics. Career success and health. All of these can contribute to increasing our basic happiness.
