This perspective presents evidence of mature gratitude as a way of coping with the threats and boundaries of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This narrative, non-systematic review will be based on studies from the COVID-19 period in association with more general literature on the characteristics of mature gratitude related to good mental health.
The results from the literature suggest that a confrontation with our existential vulnerability during a pandemic is not only a crisis but also an opportunity to view our lives in a different way. Mature gratitude, as proposed in this perspective, can help us in coping with the threats and boundaries that are part of our lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This time of crisis gives us the opportunity to self-reflect on our current life and plans for the future and to reframe them through a positive lens which can encourage individuals to actively strengthen their psychological resilience and coping skills.
Cultivating an attitude of mature gratitude through actions of kindness, expressing being thankful for life and God, and enjoying all the small things in life helps in coping with the current threats of COVID-19 and building lifelong resilience for the future. Knowledge about these associations can help psychologists, counselors, and coaches to support people who experience psychological issues due to the current pandemic and all crises to come.
本观点阐述了成熟感恩作为应对2019冠状病毒病（COVID - 19）威胁与局限的一种方式的证据。本叙述性非系统性综述将基于COVID - 19期间的研究以及与良好心理健康相关的成熟感恩特征的更广泛文献。
文献结果表明，在大流行期间面对我们存在的脆弱性不仅是一场危机，也是以不同方式看待我们生活的一个机会。如本观点所提出的，成熟感恩可以帮助我们应对因COVID - 19大流行而成为我们生活一部分的威胁和局限。这个危机时刻让我们有机会反思我们当前的生活和未来计划，并通过积极的视角重新构建它们，这可以鼓励个人积极增强其心理韧性和应对技能。
通过友善行为培养成熟感恩的态度，表达对生活和上帝的感激之情，以及享受生活中的所有小事，有助于应对当前COVID - 19的威胁，并为未来建立终身韧性。了解这些关联可以帮助心理学家、咨询师和教练支持那些因当前大流行及未来所有危机而经历心理问题的人。
