The power of gratitude
- One of the things I've learned from the extraordinary influencers in my research is that they make gratitude a habit. They not only pay forward positive influence they've received, but they express gratitude genuinely and often. A great way to do it is by using what I'll call the power thank you. It has three parts. First, thank the person for something specific that he or she did for you. Second, acknowledge the thought and effort the person took to help you. And third, tell the person how his or her action made a difference in your life and what actions you'll take going forward because of it. I want you to have this experience right away and see what an impactful habit it is to develop. Do it for one of your role model influencers by tomorrow. It only takes a couple minutes and the research on gratitude shows that it only takes two minutes of being in an appreciative state to change your brain chemistry enough to have a measurable positive effect for the entire day. Thank you so…
