Is GRATEFULNESS Foreign-sounding?

Is GRATEFULNESS Foreign-sounding?  It seems I guess because experts say that generally, there are MENTAL ROADBLOCKS like feeling impatient, having high expectations OR thinking that the subject may be too sentimental.  BUT devoting enough time to the practice can help CHANGE one's mentality about GRATITUDE.  So, question to us all:  Are you the type WHO wants to enjoy the benefits of GRATITUDE but are finding it quite a difficult habit to adopt💴💷💵

BUT before we look for the FIXES, let's combine hands to figure out as to WHY feeling GRATITUDE can be quite hard for many of us.  Studies cite three common reasons.  First, GRATITUDE can seem touchy and in our daily rat race, people can blurt, 'I DON'T NEED THAT.  AND BTW I'M BUSY'.  BUT for those with earnest efforts to exert, you might be just procrastinating to even start  OR that habit probably has yet to catch on❔❔❔

Second common reason for us feeling challenged to find GRATITUDE may be attributed to our high expectations [which we feel, are NOT met].  Let's take a real-life scenario.  You call a handyman contractor to fix your plumbing issues at home and by the time the handyman left, he did fix your issues BUT with your high expectations, you feel that that handyman's services was NOT enough.  Worst, if you are in the midst of anxiety OR depression, you just CAN'T turnaround fast to have that GRATITUDE📌📌📌

So, WHAT simple ways can we have GRATITUDE?  First, if satisfaction is WHAT you seek, GRATITUDE is certainly one key ingredient.  The more we seek out feelings of GRATEFULNESS, the more rewards it will bring to our life.  Second, psychologists claim that GRATITUDE is a form of SELF-CARE and SELF-CARE is as important as ever.  Three years into that pandemic, the value of SELF-CARE should catch our attention❗❗❗

Third, while GRATITUDE may seem difficult at first, that challenge to feel GRATEFUL will subside behind one's regular and constant efforts.  The fourth reason should be an EYE-OPENER to us all.  It's best to have LITTLE or NO expectations for WHAT a GRATITUDE practice may bring.  Expecting too much from a GRATITUDE practice may just disappoint you.  Next, making GRATITUDE a habit [just similar to exercise] is easier when considered fun or enjoyable.  Let's endeavor to bring our FOCUS to feelings of appreciation for whatever you find.  Do SAVOR [that] APPRECIATION.  And BTW, GRATITUDE strengthens relationships.  WHEN feeling lonely or isolated, you can use GRATITUDE to strengthen relationships.  Yes dude, GRATEFULNESS is NOT foreign-sounding, after all✅✅✅
