Feeling grateful and keeping a Gratitude Journal are commonly espoused as essential ingredients of personal development and a healthy mindset. But how do you express gratitude for someone who has abused you or for a disease that snatched away a loved one?
How can you, and why should you even bother?
The “Why should you even bother?” is easier to answer, so let’s start there.
The short answer is, “Because YOU are worth it.” The longer answer has at least five reasons:
1. HEALTH
Negative emotions such as anger, hurt, fear, sadness, guilt and shame keep your body and mind tense and churning. You are unable to fully relax, sleep deeply and restfully and so your body’s natural ability to heal itself is hindered. Your immune system struggles and you become susceptible to every virus around.
Depression, anxiety and a sense of heaviness or pain are your daily reality. Any emotions and experiences you’ve supressed will fester and grow into worse issues. Happiness is fleeting, if it happens at all, and your dourness hinders your relationships, withering connections and support.
Expressing gratitude for all that you have, and you have so much when you stop and notice, is calming, soothing and your heart and body feel lighter. The more you relax, the easier your body can heal itself. The better you feel, the easier life becomes, even if circumstances haven’t changed.
2. RELATIONSHIPS
When you’re in the emotional turmoil as mentioned above, it’s impossible to relax and enjoy being fully present with your partner, family, friends, colleagues, and clients/customers. Being fully present in the moment is where happiness blossoms. All these relationships can suffer as you expend time and energy rehashing your past experiences and, at some level, expecting the same from your current relationships. Trust is missing.
