class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-is-the-definition-of-gratitude\"><\/span>What is the Definition of Gratitude?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The definition can be thought of as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3010965\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">moral virtue<\/a>, an attitude, an emotion, a habit, a personality trait, and a coping response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But overall, we can probably agree that to be grateful means to appreciate what is valuable and meaningful to oneself which represents a general state of thankfulness and\/or appreciation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"develop-a-gratitude-habit\"><\/span>Develop a Gratitude Habit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/chopra.com\/articles\/5-steps-for-creating-healthy-habits-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">develop healthy habits<\/a>, but the most effective is to repeat the same thing everyday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behavioral habits like going to the gym or writing everyday maybe fairly difficult to stick to as this takes time out of your day and requires a level of will power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing an <strong>attitude of gratitude<\/strong> however, shouldn\u2019t be so difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason for this is that it <strong>only takes your thoughts to be grateful<\/strong> of something and reading gratitude affirmations and even saying them out loud takes no time at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To go a step further, an affirmation for gratitude written down everyday will start to develop the habit of being grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n<div

class=\"rank-math-link\">positive affirmations<\/a> of what you\u2019re grateful for just before you go to bed, you\u2019ll soon start to wake up thinking grateful thoughts automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as your emotions are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/gb\/blog\/the-minute-therapist\/201512\/feeling-your-thoughts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
