GRATITUDE

 Appreciation can change a day,

even change a life

willingness to put it into words

is all that is necessary. - Margaret Cousions

Gratitude is the word which comes from your heart when you feel grateful towards the other. If you want to say something never conceal your words which are confined in your heart. Be open and express them. It really makes people feel valuable. Gratitude is the healthiest of all human emotions. The more you express gratitude for what you have; you are likely to have even more. Your body and mind will bless you for taking an extra minute to reflect on what you are grateful for-- A friend made you laugh with a text message. You are going on vacation next month. Your dog or cat likes you. Your team made the playoffs. Your family makes you feel needed. When you take a minute to remember all the good things in your life, big or small, it can pay off big time for your health.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Gratitude is a stress reliever.

When you are feeling anxious and tired, try counting your blessings. Remembering the positive things in the world around you and in your own life can help boost levels of feel good hormones serotonin and dopamine.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Gratitude is a natural pain reliever.

Those who were more grateful were less likely to report feeling aches and pains. Try it. You have nothing to lose.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Gratitude helps you sleep better.

Have you heard of a gratitude journal? The idea is that you write down a few things you are grateful for every night before going to bed. Who did this for a week said they had more restful nights. The practice helps calm your mind.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Gratitude makes you happier.

When you focus on what you have instead of what you didn’t, you are less likely to be depressed. Gratitude keeps you focused on the present, Instead of worrying what might be.

 

AUTHOR GRATITUDE NOTE

 I bid adieu to this year with gratitude and love for each one of you. This year was full of challenges for me and my family but that too has brought many changes in my life. I started with Psychotalks online services and blog during the pandemic. I know how much love and appreciation you guys have poured. And this is what life is all about. Challenges give you growth and make us more strong and mature.

 People complain about the year being stagnant, for many due to the pandemic, their work has suffered, and that they are unhappy. Why don’t they think the other way round? Be happy that you are safe and protected in your home and with your loved ones. You are peaceful and healthy with good food and shelter. You enjoy being in air conditioners in summers and have blankets to cover in winters. 

When lockdown stared everyone was so happy that they got holidays and are working from home. Each passing day became difficult for people to stay in their homes. Not only they were frustrated mentally but also started having personal issues and fights between couples. Children too are suffering with their studies, time to play and being with peers are affected but somehow they were also attached with their parents. Now they are having all the time of their parents.

Why don’t you end your year with gratitude, instead of cribbing for all the things which did not happen the way you wanted or you had imagined. May be 2021 brings that for you with more happiness.  You end your year with gratitude, love, acceptance, happiness, wisdom and with no negative thoughts and feelings. 2021 will open arms for you with more positive energy. And that is what life is all about. When you close a chapter with happiness and acceptance things will automatically happen to you in your favor.

I feel gratitude towards you all. During pandemic I started my digital journey. Many of you recognized me and loved my work. I started writing my blog which I was not knowing will be appreciated and loved by you all. Hope my digital family grows more in 2021. My motive for helping and serving you all will always be my priority and my soul purpose. Hope in 2021 it will expand with improvement.

So if we see as a whole, the journey of 2020 was not only difficult but also challenging. Each generation was packed with certain type of challenges, but we all have changed and understood and somehow adapted ourselves to the environment. This showed the flexibility we all have to handle our lives. Wasn’t it beautiful we got break from our so called lives in which we were living we were not happy too. We actually got the chance to live the life we used to think. People sayings - 'काश लाइफ ऐसी  होती , काश मेरी ज़िन्दगी  तुम्हारी जैसी होती' are now saying -  ' वही  लाइफ सही थी ' . There is no life now ‘यह कोई ज़िंदगी  है.’ moral – we are never satisfied. Same goes with the wishes too, ' एक इच्छा  पूरी होगी तो दूसरी इच्छा उत्पन होगी  '. This is what life is. We all run for materialistic things and objects to live happily and that will never end.  'जो है उस में खुशी ढूंडो'  - and start loving yourself. When you start living with the satisfaction of what you have instead of what others have and what you don’t have you will never be happy. Make a resolution of thanking life for what you have and see how happy you will be.

 

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.

I THANK YOU 2020 GRATITUDE AND WELCOME 2021 WITH OPEN ARMS. EXCITED TO SEE WHAT YOU ALL HAVE STORED FOR ME.

 

LOVE

RAMA BILLA.
