It reminds us of the positive things in life. Gratitude turns bad things into good things and reminds us to thank others. Just imagine what might happen if our annual single-day tradition of giving thanks were to become a daily routine? Medical professionals suggest we would be rewarded with better health, as mental health research reveals more about the strong connection between gratitude and good health. And just as strong is the belief that stress can make us sick. It's linked to heart disease and cancer. Shockingly, stress is responsible for up to 90 percent of all doctor visits. Just think about the finan- cial costs associated with stress- related maladies. The antidote for stress is gratitude, as it calms our minds and lowers our blood pres- sure. Then, we are able to see our circumstances in a fresh, new light. Gratitude makes us feel opti- mistic, and that boosts our immune systems. In one study, researchers compared the immune systems of healthy first-year law students under stress. They found that by midterm, students who remained optimistic maintained higher num- bers of blood cells that protect the immune system, as compared with their more pessimistic classmates. Even in the face of tremendous loss or tragedy, it's possible to feel gratitude. Adversity can actually boost feelings of gratitude, a phenomenon that many of us e xperienced immediately fol- lowing Sept. 11, 2001, as we saw the tremen- dous loss in light of what we still possessed. You don't have to wait for a tragedy to grow your feelings of grati- tude. You can start today with something as sim- ple as a gratitude jour- nal. Research shows that people who keep grati- tude journals on a week- ly basis feel better about their lives as a whole, exercise more regularly, report fewer physical symptoms and maintain greater optimism about the future. Perhaps you're wondering what to be grateful for. Be thankful that you don't have ficult times, because it's in times of hardship that you grow. Be thankful when you're exhausted at the end of a day, because you know you've accomplished some- thing. What do I give thanks Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate everything you desire. If you did, you would have nothing to look forward to. Be thankful for the difficult people you have to work with. They are improving your patience and understanding. Be thankful when you don't know something, because it gives you the opportu- nity to learn. Be thankful for dif- for, privately, in my own gratitude sessions? It varies every day. I thank my readers for the encour- agement they give me by reading this column. I thank my family and friends for all they do for me. I thank God for the life he's given me. I thank people I know around the world for the things they're doing out of per- sonal sacrifice to make the world better. Choose to be grateful today -- and every day -- for all that you have. Grat- itude will fill your heart with con- tentment. And best of all? Grati- tude is 100 percent free, in any amount you desire.
