Warm greetings! I hope that everything is OK on your end. I want to start by expressing my gratitude to the Steem for Betterlife Community for organising this challenge. Take pleasure in this thrilling Steemit challenge hosted by @goodybest, and don't forget to participate. It gives me great pleasure to accept this task. I hope that was tested by everybody.

For me, the gratitude realizes from conscious recognition of all good things and people that live in our lives. To me, it is the internal light that illuminates an everyday event’s vision into a magnificent experience. It’s the lens through which we see a world that is overflowing in opportunities.

Those matters because the attitude of gratitude radically changes how we see our environment. Instead of focusing on what is lacking in our lives, it inspires us to appreciate the abundance right here with me. It therefore widens our investment perceptive to make us feel happier and have greater potentials. Moreover, it is proven that gratitude promotes happiness and wellness which are known to promote physical and mental health.

Being a person expressing emotions and personal experiences, I can say that gratitude manifests in various forms. For instance, one might say ‘thank you’ to a friend who has helped me or write him/her a note for doing good or great job like that. They can also thank a person by giving back to their community or simply enjoying nature’s beauty for some time.

Developing the habit of gratitude can be as easy and straightforward as mentally allocating a moment at day in order to meditate on things that you are appreciative for. This can be achieved by maintaining a gratitude journal that would require writing three things for which one is grateful everyday. This over a period can shape your brain to be more sensitive towards the positive sides of life and not inclined toward negative ones.
