Meditation Not Working For You? Try Gratitude Instead!
by Vishen LakhianiFebruary 8, 2010
15 minutes, twice a day. Sounds easy, right? Okay, maybe easier than it sounds so here’s an alternative to meditating that has some immediate effects that beat any pharmaceutical pill.
It’s called gratitude and it’s scientifically proven to boost your happiness by 25%!
Plus if you have any friends who feel meditation is just too out there (even though, it really isn’t), you can get them into gratitude instead.
Check out this quote from a study by Dr. Robert Emmons of the University of California at Davis and Dr. Michael McCollough of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas:
The first group kept a diary of the events that occurred during the day… the second group recorded their unpleasant experiences, [and] the last group made a daily list of things for which they were grateful.
The results of the study indicated that daily gratitude exercises resulted in higher reported levels of alertness, enthusiasm, determination, optimism and energy. Additionally, the gratitude group experienced less depression and stress, was more likely to help others, exercised more regularly and made more progress toward personal goals. According to the findings, people who feel grateful are also more likely to feel loved.
McCollough and Emmons also noted that gratitude encouraged a positive cycle of reciprocal kindness among people since one act of gratitude encourages another… McCullough suggests that anyone can increase their sense of well-being and create positive social effects just from counting their blessings.
Not bad. If you haven’t already, I really recommend you get in on the gratitude community by joining GratitudeLog. Totally free and it’s like the Facebook of gratitude.
