It turns out giving thanks is good for your health.(33)A growing body of research suggests that maintaining an attitude of gratitude can improve emotional and physical well-being. Adults who frequently feel grateful have more energy, more social connections and more happiness than those who do not, according to studies conducted over the past decade. They’re also less likely to be depressed, envious and greedy. They earn more money, sleep more soundly, exercise more regularly and have greater resistance to viral infections.
    Now, researchers are finding that gratitude brings similar benefits in children and teenagers. Kids who feel and act grateful tend to be less materialistic, get better grades, set higher goals, complain of fewer headaches and stomach aches and feel more satisfied with their friends, families and schools than those who don’t, studies show.
    For older children and adults, one simple way to cultivate gratitude is to keep a journal and regularly record whatever you are grateful for that day. Be specific. Listing " my friends, my school, my dog" day after day means that "gratitude fatigue" has set in, Dr. Froh says. Writing "my dog licked my face when I was sad" keeps it fresher.(35)The real benefit comes in changing how you experience the world. Look for things to be grateful for, and you’ll start seeing them everywhere.
