How do you practice gratitude?

While this past year has been unprecedented for everyone, take the time to recognize and be thankful for the blessings in your life despite the many trials of 2020. Although many holiday traditions that we look forward to are canceled or turned virtual, showing appreciation for what you do have this holiday season will remind you of all the good that you have in your life. 

In today’s episode, I talk about the impact that practicing gratitude can have on your life and your role as a leader. Showing gratitude is always important, but specifically this year because all of the uncertainties can make it difficult to recognize the blessings. Throughout the episode, I explain the various ways I show gratitude in my life and explain the research findings on the impacts gratitude has on us. 

Tune in to learn how a gratitude journal changed my life, the four research findings of positive effects from showing gratitude, and how you can show your appreciation to your team. Happy Holidays!
