today’s Reflection:

Today we’re gonna talk about the power of saying, “Thank you.” This can totally change the way you experience life. It’s two simple words that change everything.

Thank. You.

That’s it. A phrase we take for granted. A sentence usually reserved for when someone holds the door for us or gives us nice pretty gifts.

A phrase we say far too little.

Can you imagine how it would change your life if you constantly said, “Thank you,” to people?

If you took every opportunity to thank people? If you…

• Thanked a coworker for a prompt reply to an email.

• Said a heartfelt, “Thank you,” when your boss let you go home 30 minutes early.

• Thanked your spouse for cooking a delicious dinner.

• Gave your kids a big hug and thanked them for cleaning up their toys.

• Were full of gratitude when a family member called to check in.

Being thankful to others can profoundly change the way you go through life. When you’re constantly thankful to others, it fills your heart with joy and helps you live in a constant state of gratitude. 

today’s Action:

Today, make every effort to say, “Thank you,” to others.

Match your practice of noticing with the practice of gratitude to others.

Try to notice at least TEN things you can thank someone for. It doesn’t have to be big things. You can give thanks for even the smallest things a person helps you with or brings joy into your life.

You’ll discover that the practice of gratitude completely changes your relationships with people.

People will be much more receptive to you, much more open, and much more willing to share their lives with you.

And you’ll simply be grateful that they’re in your life.

Gratitude is an incredibly powerful practice. A practice so powerful that it can change your relationships forever.

Tomorrow we’re gonna talk about the powerful practice of gratitude affirmations.
