As the year nears its end, taking a day to ponder the things to be grateful for may actually have some surprising benefits. Cary Boone Jones, senior director of Career Services and Student Employment, believes in the power of gratitude. Also an adjunct professor in the behavioral sciences, she takes time in her positive psychology classes to focus on why being grateful is more than a nice sentiment for the holidays. "I used to think the benefits [of gratitude] were solely for the people you were appreciative of, such as helping them feel good about some things that they had done for you," said Jones. "Now I realize the benefits to us personally are very great as well." Those benefits are actually quite significant - people who feel and express gratitude have been found to be happier, more energetic and more hopeful. They also are more inclined to be helpful and forgiving. They have fewer physical pains and illnesses as well, "When we focus on the things that we have, we are happier than when we focus on the things we don't have," explained Jones. "All of [the] research "I used to think the benefits [of gratitude] were solely for the people you were appreciateive of... Now I realize the benefits to us personally are very great as well." Cary Boone Jones shows that the people that are grateful are the people who are happy." Everyone has challenges that are out of their control: a lost job, an illness or even the weather. Those things do have a real influence on the quality of life, but there are still things that can be done.
