When I say “Thank You” or give a compliment, I always mean it.
Lately, I decided to express more gratitude and appreciation to the people I come in contact with.
- I kid around with the Barista at Starbucks.
- Compliment my staff at work for even the smallest thing.
- Kiss my wife more than twice a day.
- I even pet my cat more and talk “baby talk” to him. (He loves hearing my super-masculine deep voice change to a high-pitched, nonsensical speech patter.) I wish my wife did too… )
The result? FANTASTIC DIFFERENCE…
It’s made me smile more and feel better about the ups and downs of the day. But something unexpected also happened:
I’ve gotten much more work done lately, because I’m making less excuses. I’m “finding the time” to do a bunch of stuff I’ve been procrastinating for a while.
Maybe I’m just in a better mood. Or maybe my focus is back…
Either way, expressing my gratitude to the people around me has given me a new mindset that feels pretty f**king great.
