The practice of appreciation as a device for happiness has been in
the mainstream for many years. Long-term research supports
appreciation’s efficiency to improve your life, recommending that a
positive, appreciative attitude helps in a higher success rate at work, better health, peak performance in sports, a greater sense of well-being, and a quicker rate of recovery from surgery.
However while we could acknowledge appreciation’s numerous
advantages, it still can be tough to sustain. A lot of us are trained to
observe exactly what is broken, undone or lacking in our lives. And for
appreciation to meet its full healing capacity in our lives, it needs
to become more than just a giving thanks word. We have to find out a new
means of looking at things, a new practice, which can take a while.
