When showing GRATITUDE and APPRECIATION backfires and makes you worse off

I have practiced gratitude as a spiritual practice for about 25 years. Gratitude spreads out through the day from gratitude for a sunny day to gratitude that some higher power guided a difficult choice.

When it is part of a daily practice, it becomes usual or regular to thank people. I'd say I do it without thinking, but that would not be accurate because I do think about what I am going to say. I'd say it is routine, but that makes it sound as if it is not something special. The best word I know for it is practice. Something I practice every day.
