The benefits of giving thanks Being thankful on the inside manifests itself on the outside. “If you’re ungrateful, you send signals that can be a turn-off,” explains Terri Orbuch, Ph.D., psychologist and author of Finding Love Again: 6 Simple Steps to a New and Happy Relationship. “Others think that it is too much work to have a relationship with someone who doesn’t like him- or herself.” Conversely, when you’re grateful, it shows. “If you are grateful for your present situation, you look grateful, which makes others more attracted to you. All of these signal confidence and self-esteem, which comes from feeling and being grateful,” says Orbuch. Keeping track of all the great things you have (instead of focusing on the things you don’t) makes you more fun to be around and allows you to be open to more possibilities. That’s not only good for life — it can be good for love, too.
