어느 집의 어머니 친구가 초청을 받아 어머니와 대화를 나누늗데
유치원 다니는 아이가 집에 돌아왔다.
어머니 친구는 용돈을 주었다.
그 아이는 어머니의 눈치를
보면서 반응을 보고 있었다.
아이 입장에서 가장 좋은 반응이 나왔다.
"고맙습니다,"하고 받아 ..
부모가 자녀에게 고마음을 가르치는 방법이기도 하다.
 
미국 가정은 어떤가?
위에서 예를 든 한국 가정과 거의 비슷하면서도 다른 점이 있다.
어머니 친구가 아이에게 용돈을 줄 때
아이는 어머니 눈치 (?)를 보지 않고  그 용돈을 받는다.
그런 입장에서 어머니가 아이에게 어떤 말을 할까?
"What would you say?"
뭐라고 해야지?
그 말을 듣는 아이는 '뭐라고 해야 하는지' 묻지 않고
'Thank you~" 라고 응답했다.
 
방법은 다르지만 고마움을 강조한다는 부모의 마음은 같다.
Gratitude (or being GRATEFUL) is a powerful tool for
counteracting the brain’s negativity bias.
감사 (명사 또는 고아워하는 상태 / 형용사)는 뇌의 부정적 편견에 대응하는 강력한
도구이다.
(What are you grateful for? / 당신은 무엇에
고마워 하는가?
Psychology Today, December 4, 2023)
 
grateful 은 1500년 중반의 Latin어 gratus (기쁘게 하다)가 그 뿌리이므로
고마워한다는 것은 기쁨과
관계가 있다,
그래서 이런 문장이 흥미롭다
I am happy because I am GRATEFUL
I choose to be GRATEFUL.
That gratitude allows me to be happy.
나는 고마워하기 때문에
행복하다,
나는 고마워하는 것을 선택한다.
그 고마움은 나를 행복하게
허락한다.
 
고마워 하는 것이 우리 삶을 윤택하게 하는데
이런 질문을 할 수 있다
What are you GRATEFUL for?
I am super GRATEFUL for my family especially
my wife.
당신은 무엇에 감사하는가?
나는 내 가족 특히 아내에게  엄청 고마워 한다.

연말연시는 특별한 계절인데
사람에 따라 특별한
까닭이 다른데, 내 생각은
이렇다.
The end of the year can be a great time to reflect on what you’re GRATEFUL for.
연말은 당신이 고마워하는 것을
되돌아보는 위대한 시간이다.

한국은 국회의원 선거 즌비에
바쁘며 '별해괴한 발언'으로
국민을 불안하게 한다.
그런 정치인들에게 묻는다.
R U GRATEFUL for the people who have right
to vote?
당신들은 당신에게 표를 던질 권리를 가진 국민들에게
고마워 하는가..?!

Gratitude is a powerful tool for counteracting the brain’s negativity bias.

Simple gratitude practices include keeping a gratitude journal and writing thank-you cards and emails.

As the end of the year approaches, this can be a great time to reflect on the last 12 months, come together with your family and friends, and think about what you’re grateful for.

It’s a wonderful thing to do and there’s so much research about the benefits of gratitude on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

Proven Benefits of Gratitude
One of the proven benefits of gratitude is that it’s a key factor in building resilience.

Researcher and author Shawn Achor explains that resilience is about how you recharge, not about how you endure.

Resilience is the ability to take events in your stride, even when they are stressful, and it’s about being able to sustain your energy, even in highly demanding situations and tasks.

Resilience is so important to your well-being because it’s one of the key ways to prevent burnout and give yourself the chance to truly thrive.

Your resilience levels are fueled by qualities like optimism, which is where gratitude comes into play.

Gratitude is the most powerful tool to counteract your brain’s in-built negativity bias, which is your brain’s tendency to tune into the negative things that happen in your life and hold onto them.
 
grateful (adj.)
1550s, "pleasing to the mind," also "full of gratitude, disposed to repay favors bestowed," from obsolete adjective grate "agreeable, pleasant," from Latin gratus "pleasing" (from suffixed form of PIE root *gwere- (2) "to favor"). "A most unusual formation" [Weekley]. A rare, irregular case of English using -ful to make an adjective from an adjective (the only other one I can find is direful "characterized by or fraught with something dreadful," 1580s). Related: Gratefully (1540s); gratefulness.

Grateful often expresses the feeling and the readiness to manifest the feeling by acts, even a long time after the rendering of the favor; thankful refers rather to the immediate acknowledgment of the favor by words. [Century Dictionary]

also from 1550s

You may have noticed that you’re much more likely to remember negative feedback, criticism, mistakes you’ve made, or embarrassing moments than all of the positive feedback and things you’ve done right in your life.

The way that gratitude helps to counteract this is that by actively choosing to focus on what you’re grateful for, your brain actually relives the experience, which puts it in a positive state.

According to Achor’s research, we know that your brain at positive performs significantly better than at negative, neutral, or stressed.

Your intelligence rises, your creativity rises, and your energy levels rise.

In fact, it’s been found that all business outcomes improve. Your brain at positive is 31% more productive than your brain at negative, neutral, or stressed. The advantages are significant.

8 Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude
The real power of gratitude is experienced when you have a consistent and regular practice. Studies show that if you can practice gratitude for 21 days in a row, this is enough to rewire your brain to retain a pattern of scanning the world not for the negative but for the positive first.

If you’ve never had a gratitude practice before, or if you want some ideas for how you could change things up, here are eight simple ways to bring in the benefits of gratitude on a daily basis:

Wake up and acknowledge one thing that you’re grateful for first thing in the morning.
Share with your family around the dinner table something that you’re grateful for from that day.
Keep a gratitude journal beside your bed and write down three things that you’re grateful for each day and why those things were meaningful to you.
Start a gratitude jar, where you write down a moment you’re grateful for on a piece of paper and pop it in the jar as often as you like. Once the jar is full, you can read through all the notes and relive the special moments.
Text a friend each day with something you’re grateful for or appreciate about them.
Buy some thank-you cards and write to someone in your life who has done something for you recently that you may not have thanked them for yet.
Send an email of gratitude first thing in the morning to an unsuspecting colleague.
Write a letter of gratitude to someone who has had a positive impact on your life. If you can, arrange to meet them in person and read the letter out loud to them, expressing your gratitude in person. This is known as the gratitude visit and according to Martin Seligman, the founder of positive psychology, it is the most effective positive intervention to improve your happiness and well-being levels.
