With the holidays in full swing, we've been talking a lot about gratitude lately here at Kids Party Characters, as you've probably noticed.
We've talked both about the importance of instilling an attitude of gratitude in our kids, as well as how gratitude helps develop strong and loyal relationships with customers.
Today we're going to take a little behind the scenes look at why gratitude should be something more than just a tradition, and tell you about a special discount we're offering to Kids Party Characters customers and supporters that will motivate you to book your next party today, no matter how far off it is!
The Science of Gratitude
Naturally, there's a lot of talk about being thankful and having gratitude around the Thanksgiving holiday because that's the whole purpose of the holiday, as is apparent from its name.
But other than the fact that you're suppose to focus on being thankful during Thanksgiving, and other than the fact that it's "nice" to say thank you to people and to appreciate what you have, what's the big deal about gratitude?
In recent years there's been an explosion in the scientific community of studies on happiness. Everyone wants more of it, and researchers are looking at how to get it.
Without exception, such studies show that when we express gratitude, it makes us happier.
Why? Studies reveal that when we consistently keep track of things we're grateful for, it stimulates two key areas in the brain, the hypothalamus and the ventral tegmental area.
The hypothalamus regulates our stress levels, and the ventral tegmental area is integral to the brain's reward system that produces feelings of pleasure.
So focusing on gratitude can reduce our stress and make us feel better.
Various studies have shown that the good feelings produced by practicing gratitude can improve relationships, physical health, sleep, self-esteem, and mental toughness.
Gratitude practice can also give us more empathy and compassion, and make us more generous and less aggressive.
