gratitude makes us happier

I agree. If your always getting down on yourself or others than it meens your not happy. But if your cheering yourself up and acting on a positive way, then your in a good mood and happy. You force yourself to block out things that make you feel bad and welcome the good things, that will make you feel happy.

Another thing that helps is your “thankfullness.” You realize what you have and are thankfull of it. When you see someone who is struggling, you think to yourself and imagine what it would be like to be in the other persons shoes. Then you realize that your thankfull for what you have.

When your grattified your open and active in a positive way towards lots of new things. I find when im in a state of grattitude, I feel better and more positive. It helps me get through the day with less problems. So yes gratitude does make us happier.
