A thank-you letter will increase the joy of the person recieving it but it will also increase the author's happiness because expressing gratitude makes you happier. A “Gratitude Letter” written to a person whom you’ve never properly thanked, can increase your own happiness for weeks, even months.
Take time today to write a letter of thanks to someone. It could be to a parent, another family member, or maybe a friend. Compose a letter detailing in specific why you are grateful.
Gratitude increases happiness through good memories from the past. We are born with a certain amount of happiness…a set point. Research is now showing that up to 40% of our happiness might stem from intentional activities in which we choose to engage. Studies show that we cultivate happiness by becoming more grateful in our everyday lives.
Make your life and the life of special person happier by writing a gratitude letter today.
Wishing you all a beautiful day full of Love, Light and Joy!
