As an HR specialist, I believe that expressing gratitude is crucial to employees within a company. It helps them understand their value and appreciate their contributions to the business. As a manager, I commend my employees, even for small achievements, to provide them with benchmarks for what they have done exceptionally well and what achievements I expect from them in the future. Gratitude, as a form of motivation, sometimes works better than monetary incentives.
Gratitude is central to my way of thinking. If something happens that can bum me out for the day, I instantly try to look at the positive side and be grateful for that positivity. There is almost always a way to find the positive in something and that I'm truly grateful for.
Gratitude is a basic skill that I see tons of people tend to overlook. In the mornings I just tell myself how lucky I am to be even able to wake up and work on my startup.
Used to write down 3 things I'm grateful for every morning and did it for more than two years.
I quite enjoyed that small moment of joy in the morning, so I was eager to add a gratitude journal to our product Unstuck. However, as usual, we started by digging into the latest research to ensure that our solution would be backed by science. That was when I learned about savoring, which according to research is much more impactful than gratitude journaling.
Since then I start every day with a savoring moment in our app. I pick one moment from the past day that I like to savor and then write about the experience and how it made me feel. I find it much more effective than gratitude and I like how it is helping me train my brain to pay more attention to the positive moments. As I practice, I'm starting to automatically savor in the moment and it feels great 😊
