Thankful people make it a habit to acknowledge and pay forward each bit of kindness that comes their way, whether it's a simple compliment, help on a task or getting flowers. Research shows this type of kindness makes both you and the other person happier. 培养感恩时,小的善举会有大的影响。感恩的人会养成一种习惯,承认并传播一切他们见识到的善意,无论是简单的称赞、帮助完成任务还是收到鲜花。研究表明这种善良使你和他人都更幸福。 8. Volunteer. 做志愿者。 Everyone needs a little help sometimes -- and grateful people know there's no other way to acknowledge this than by actively doing something about it. In his book Thanks!, Emmons wrote,"Since service to others helped them to find their own inner spirituality, they were grateful for the opportunity to serve". As research published in BMC Public Health points out, volunteering can result in lower feelings of depression and increased overall well-being. |
