Dr. Anita Bangale is a Houston emergency medicine practitioner who also consults online with patients suffering from anxiety and depression. With Diya Coaching, her separate life-coaching practice, Dr. Anita Bangale addresses aspects of well-being, such as gratitude and the “happiness narrative.”
As described in a Harvard Health article, giving thanks in a meaningful way can be a form of medicine for people who experience sadness, loss, and a sense of being overwhelmed by life. While not a substitute for professional help, the practice of acknowledging goodness in one’s life is one that moves the person outside of themselves to a degree, enabling them to better connect with a life force larger than one individual, whether it be a community, a higher power, or the natural world.
Studies have demonstrated the power of gratitude in diverse settings, including relationships. Those who take time to express gratitude to their life partner tend to gain a more positive view of their mate and also have more ease when expressing relationship concerns.
In the workplace, managerial leaders who vocalize thanks to those who support them often find employees more willing and motivated to give their best effort moving forward. Whatever the setting, the mindfulness involved in expressing gratitude can also have a broadening impact that eases stress and helps in understanding and resolving conflicts and differences of opinion.
