There is no question that there's much that's wrong in the world, but today we can focus on what's right. The value of this age old tradition is enormous with many studies proving the emotional, social and physiological benefits of gratefulness, including:
- Reduces aches and pains
- Increases happiness
- Inspires people to be more health conscious and spend more time exercising
- Enables people to sleep better
- Grateful people are much more likely to live longer
- Gratefulness reduces negative emotions such as envy, frustration and resentment
- Gratefulness can even reduce blood pressure and strengthen our immune system
- Makes us more resilient and able to bounce back
- Helps us relax
- Makes us friendlier
- Increases energy levels
- Deepens friendships
- Increases goal achievement
- Reduces materialism
- Improves self-esteem
And since this is a business blog... I'm thankful I can look back over the years of being in business and remember relationships with customers and work partners and subcontractors who trusted me and inspired me and taught me!
I'm grateful for every individual and every business that has brought a spirit of never ending improvement and excellence to their work!
I'm grateful for everyone who has revered collaborative relationships for the value they add to us as individuals, to our workplace cultures, to our communities and our world! I'm grateful for everyone who has shown me that the effort to improve, has its own reward no matter what the outcome!
I'm grateful for everyone in business who cares more about the value they are producing for their customers and partners, than the profit they're making!
With that I'm wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving holiday and a future filled with gratitude!
