        Over the last few years, there's been a trend to focus on gratitude. We can buy different kinds of gratitude journals, or download apps that remind us to write down our blessings.“But it's also important to remember that gratitude is free.” says Laurie Santos, who teaches a course on the science of well-being and happiness at Yale University.

        Noting down gratitude seems to pay off. Studies have found that giving thanks can help people sleep better, lower stress and improve interpersonal relationships. Keeping a gratitude journal can decrease materialism and enhance generosity among adolescents.“It's one practices that really wins out from the field of positive psychology.” she says. Her students, in addition to keeping gratitude journals, are asked to write a thank-you letter and then read it out loud to the recipient (收信人). “They show measurable improvements in well-being even a month after they've done this.” she says.

        One study found that counting blessings once a week boosted happiness, but doing so three times a week didn't. There's also a lack of research on bow gratitude exercises help people with clinical depression or anxiety. Indeed, for all the research on the broad benefits of expressing gratitude, it isn't for everyone. It can't make injustice, loss or pain disappear.

        During really tough times, like when she suffers from poor health, Santos feels like she is reaching for reasons to be grateful. But she still tries to find some. “I'm grateful for the sun that's shining or being able to wake up,” she says.
