2) Let’s practice gratitude - Thanksgiving edition
It is essential to build a sense of gratitude into our routine. You can start with one of the following exercises and implement them regularly.
Exercise 1: Ask yourself and make a list of 10 things you are thankful for
Example: I am grateful for having the ability to initiate conversations.
Exercise 2: List out things/people/memories of what “You Have”
Example 1: I have an excellent place to live
Example 2: I have fond memories of helping people in need
Exercise 3: Connect and re-connect with people who taught you something.
Example 1: I’m thankful to (person name) for teaching me how to speak in Public
Example 2: I’m thankful to (person name) for helping me identify my strengths in Marketing.
