Practicing gratitude can significantly enhance happiness by shifting focus from negative emotions to positive experiences. Research shows that gratitude improves overall mental health, reduces anxiety, and fosters positive emotions such as joy and contentment, ultimately increasing life satisfaction and optimism [1][3][10]. It encourages a more positive outlook, strengthens relationships, and promotes generosity, creating a cycle of positive interactions [8][12]. Regularly expressing gratitude can also improve physical health, leading to better mood and resilience against stress [3][6].
