Gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with GREATER HAPPINESS.

Gratitude & Resilience = Enhanced Well-being

Adversity is a fact of life but being resilient means you are better able to cope during hardships or challenges, and steer through the storm stronger than you were before.

Resilience is more than just putting on a brave face, it is having the capacity to persevere and to recover quickly from difficulties – disappointments, setbacks, illness and tragedy.

It is one of the best skills we can learn. Helping ourselves and those we love survive through difficult times can seem like a distant dream. But imagine not just surviving but thriving. Becoming stronger and wiser through the experiences of everyday life.

Practising gratitude is the basis of all Awesome Inc journals and science of positive psychology tells us - it is one of the easiest and most effective ways of retraining the brain.
