The field of positive psychology looks to enhance good health with a focus on traits and behaviors that cultures through time have valued as worthy or virtuous. The practice of gratitude is just such a trait. People who routinely seek reasons to be grateful experience negative feelings like anyone else, but those negative emotions are less likely to result in depressed mood or severe stress. Gratitude does appear to enhance positive emotions such as enthusiasm, optimism, and life satisfaction.
