Every one of us must have at least once asked our moms to make our favourite dish, just as granny used to when we visit her during vacation. Ever wondered why some rituals or recipes are still the same as the way our great-grandparents used to practice them?

It is fascinating how so many of our family customs and traditions have passed from generation to generation so far. However, thanks to our busy lifestyle, the younger generation has no idea about their relatives or distant family members. Slowly this rich treasure of our family traditions is getting forgotten.

Although, you may think that learning about our ancestors is not vital. Learning about our family history has a lot of benefits.

Below are some life-changing benefits that will surprise you and make you want to discover and treasure your unique family history.

Sense of identity

We all want to know where we come from and trace our roots back. One can get a deeper understanding of oneself by staying in touch with our ancestors and watching them follow their traditions and culture. This sense of identity gives our sense of worth and belonging a boost.

Boosts happiness

Knowing about the past of your elders, where they came from, who they were, and what they did gives us a chance to reminisce memories while also learning new things about them. Some studies also suggest that reminiscing can lower your stress levels.

Also, being familiar with our family history invokes a sense of pride within us. It is also beneficial in inducing happiness and a feeling of satisfaction among us.

Builds a sense of family

You become more aware of your family dynamics when you get to know the who’s who of your family. Children have a better understanding of relations when raised in such an environment.

Discover fascinating stories

How many of us remember the names of our great-grandparents or anything about them? Sure, we might have heard little about them from our grandparents or parents but, that is it.

However, this will not be the case when you are familiar with your family.

Now that you know how pivotal it is to treasure your unique family history, start building your family tree by talking to your elders. We bet you’ll be amazed to uncover fascinating stories about your loved ones.
