ways being thankful can improve your life

感恩可以改善你的生活

Stronger relationships

更好的人际关系

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."

《心理科学》杂志的一项研究表明，对伴侣——无论是亲密的朋友、同事还是重要的人——表达感激“能增强一个人对这段关系的集体力量的感知”。对朋友的慷慨或配偶的耐心心存感激，有助于你欣赏这段关系中相互的给予和接受，只要感激之情不转变为负债之感。另一项研究的作者写道:“尽管负债可能会维持关系投入的外部信号，但感恩在促进关系方面具有独特的预测力，可能会成为关系的一剂强心针。”
