Taking a moment to step back and think about the things in your life that you are thankful will actually make you happier, according to Harvard Medical School.

Two psychologists at the University of Miami conducted a study about gratitude in which they split the participants into two sections. Over the course of the week, one group was tasked with writing down the things they were grateful for, while the other wrote down all the things that annoyed them or pissed them off. A third group, the control group, just wrote about what happened to them without including any emotions.
