Gratitude isn’t a trait that society pushes us to nurture too much.

Even if you don’t feel like it.

It’s not just wishy-washy, feel-good stuff.

Itinterrupts the cycleofcynical thinking.

“Gratitude is a choice.

The important aspect here is that you break the cycle of feeling like the world is terrible.

This can be particularly useful for people who suffer fromchronic depression.

While obviously it’s not a cure, quantifying the positive things in your life can help anyone.

Writing down things you’re grateful for makes your life better.
