No doubt about it: Gratitude is good
for you. It has the power to improve
your physical health, mental strength,
energy level, sleep, and self-esteem.
So says brain training expert Jim Kwik,
who will deliver the opening keynote at
Imaging USA 2020. Practicing gratitude
on the daily enables you to better serve
your clients and manage your business.
Here are five daily actions to rev up
your gratitude.
GRATITUDE
ATTITUDE
Keep a gratitude journal
Each morning and night, write down
three things you’re thankful for.
Tell someone you
appreciate them
Write a thank you note or start a
meeting by expressing thanks.
Think of one thing you
like about yourself
Pick a daily behavior, like brushing your
teeth, as the time to remind yourself to
be thankful for one of your best traits.
Practice mindfulness
Spend time in nature without your
digital devices.
Reduce judgment
Halt your inner critic and flip your
perception to the positive.
