Reading Notes "Happiness, Starts with Thank You for This Cup of Coffee: A Gratitude Journey Closer to Happiness"

●I was not such a person before. I didn’t know how to be grateful. I rarely put my mind on coffee in my life, unless the coffee spilled on my coat or burned my mouth, but the experience of the past few months has forced me to change my mind . A few months ago, I was constantly in a state of anger or impatience, and in order to face it, I took on a challenge—thanks to everyone who made my coffee run smoothly. I decided to thank the people who made the coffee, the people who grew the beans, and everyone in the process

●I'm not someone who knows how to repay kindness by birth. My inner little theater character setting has always been irritable, closer to a sarcastic character than Tom. Hanks kind of warm humor. I've read a lot of books on gratitude, and I know it's one of the keys to a happy life. Perhaps, as the Roman philosopher Cicero said, gratitude is the first of all virtues. According to research, gratitude can provide a number of psychological benefits to a person: calming moods, helping you sleep, improving your diet, and making you more likely to exercise. Heart patients who have a habit of writing a gratitude journal will recover faster. Recent research has shown that gratitude can make people more generous and kind to strangers.

● "Scientific American" (Scientific American magazine) has another study that found that, of the 25 good personal traits, gratitude has the greatest impact on happiness and relationships, defeating other traits such as hope, caring, and creativity. The old Benedictine monk David. David Steindl-Rast once said, "Happiness doesn't make you grateful, gratitude makes you happy."

●I need to adjust my mindset, this gratitude program may be the key to success. My project goal is to flip my mindset: hopefully by the end of the project, more than half of the day will be happy and grateful, or at least less fidgety.

●Thank you for letting me drink this cup of coffee:

1. Coffee maker and coffee maker - thank you for letting me have coffee

2. Cup maker - thank you for keeping coffee from spilling on my lap

3. Bean baker - thank you for enduring the heat

4. Water - thank you for filling my glass

5. Security Control - Thank you for keeping me alive

6. Porters - Thank you for shipping coffee from all over the world

7. Miners - thank you for getting all the raw materials

8. Coffee farmers - thank you for growing my coffee
