Times you shouldn't say thank you
i) when you're in danger of overdosing........
One of the most common prescriptions for increasing gratitude is taking time out regularly to ponder what's good about your life. This is a great idea but, when it comes to counting your blessings, more isn't always better. One study mentioned by Gordon, for instance, showed that thinking about what you have to be grateful three times a week less effective than once a week.
Similarly, a long list of things you're thankful for mightn't give you more than short list. Ask yourself to think up 20 causes for gratitude and you might struggle, keading you to conclude that you don't have enough goodnessin your life. Task yourself with coming up with just three and answers will almost certainly leap the to mind, bringing your greater happiness.
ii) When it blinds you to your own effort and accomplishments.....
Thanking others for their contributions is certainly motivating, but you shouldn't take practice so far that you lose the track of our own contributions. Others play a role in all of our successes, but our own hardwork counts for a lot , to-don't take thankfulness so far you forget that. Nor should you ever be grateful to the extent that you start to question whether you deserve another personin your life. Gratitude works best when its paired with self-steem.
