ways being thankful can improve your life

感恩可以改善你的生活

Stronger relationships

更好的人際關系

Expressing gratitude to a relationship partner—whether a close friend, colleague or significant other—"enhances one's perception of the relationship's communal strength," according to a study in Psychological Science. Feeling thankful for a friend's generosity or a spouse's patience helps you appreciate the relationship's mutual give-and-take, as long as gratitude doesn't mutate into feelings of indebtedness. "Although indebtedness may maintain external signals of relationship engagement," the authors of another study wrote, "gratitude had uniquely predictive power in relationship promotion, perhaps acting as a booster shot for the relationship."

《心理科學》雜志的一項研究表明，對伴侶——無論是親密的朋友、同事還是重要的人——表達感激“能增強一個人對這段關系的集體力量的感知”。對朋友的慷慨或配偶的耐心心存感激，有助于你欣賞這段關系中相互的給予和接受，只要感激之情不轉變為負債之感。另一項研究的作者寫道:“盡管負債可能會維持關系投入的外部信號，但感恩在促進關系方面具有獨特的預測力，可能會成為關系的一劑強心針。”
