Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude

Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude!

In my mindfulness and leadership programs, I encourage participants to write a daily gratitude journal. I suggest three aspects to be a part of their gratitude

1.  An opportunity received
2.  An act of kindness they did
3.  Any action they did/ they received/ where they felt happy/ peaceful

Below is an example

• Grateful to have got an appointment with the client.
• Grateful to have got an opportunity to give a lift to a lady waiting for the bus.
• Grateful to my students to have wished me on Guru Poornima day.

 Science has proved that there are plenty of benefits of being in the gratitude zone. 
As one makes writing gratitude a habit they reap benefits such as

• The focus shifts from complaining, irritated, nagging, angry zone to a happy, peaceful, calm zone.
• One feels good about self.
• The brain becomes calmer.
• Improves self-esteem.
• Has health benefits.
• Improves sleep.
• Increases empathy.

Of course from an ROI angle, it reduces medical costs.

Grateful to be writing gratitude today.

With gratitude
