What Science Says We Need To Be Happy

Research shows that consistently grateful people are happier, more energetic, more hopeful, more helpful, more empathic, more spiritual, more forgiving, and less materialistic. They’re also less likely to be depressed, anxious, lonely, envious, neurotic, or sick.

Those expressing gratitude were not only happier and more optimistic; they reported fewer physical symptoms (such as headache, cough, nausea, or acne).

Which is why when we try to make change consciously, we often come up against some kind of resistance or sabotage that we just can’t explain.

Why Self-Awareness Is The Key To Unlocking True Potential
