The word thank you sounds very simple but its impact is very deep. Saying thank you for every good thing, expressing gratitude is also the basis of physical and mental well-being.
Thanksgiving opens the door to happiness
In this research, the participants were asked to write a letter expressing gratitude. They had to write a 'thank you note' to someone close to them, because of whom something better happened in their life. It was found that the happiness of the participants increased rapidly while writing the thank you letter and reading it out to someone close to them. In such a situation, saying thank you had a direct relationship with happiness. Not only this, the level of stress hormone cortisol of the participants decreased by 23%.
benefits of saying thank you
Saying thank you benefits both the speaker and the listener. When we like something someone says or he does something good for us, saying thank you makes us feel happy from within. This also has a positive effect on the listener's mind. Apart from this, the relationship with that person also becomes good.
Saying thank you in your heart is also effective
By the way, research also says that if we thank someone in our mind, then it also keeps our health good. For example, one day after returning from office, you think that which colleague behaved well with you today, then you thank him in your mind for this. If possible, also write a 'thank you note' in the diary. By doing this, happy hormones start getting released inside the person.
You can also express your gratitude in these ways
To express gratitude, it is not necessary that you just say thank you, but you can also praise with some words. Like your mind is very beautiful, I am lucky that you are in my life and I feel relaxed by meeting and talking to you, apart from this, this world is beautiful only because of people like you, etc.
