Gratitude encourages us to shift our perspective and notice the things we appreciate and are thankful for, helping counterbalance negative thoughts and emotions. When we acknowledge and appreciate the good things in our lives, it can help reduce rumination about the past or worries about the future, which are common in depression.
Gratitude encourages self-reflection and recognition of our own strengths and accomplishments. It can help boost self-esteem and self-worth. So, no matter how small or how big, make it a daily habit to be grateful of the things you already have in life, and perhaps, you might just view things from a different perspective. You are never alone in this, reach out and seek the help and support your need.
