If our ability to learn and develop is dependent on our ability to appreciate, then our ability to evolve as human beings, be better leaders or succeed means we would be well served by cultivating a more appreciative state. This requires daily practice.
We’re surrounded by millions of things we can appreciate, some small and relatively trivial; some magnificently significant.
The more we can appreciate the faster we can develop.
The faster we develop the better equipped we are to adapt to a fast-paced changing world.
Operating from a state of appreciation in life isn’t just some touchy-feely nonsense, there’s good scientific evidence that such positive emotional states directly improve brain function.
This is why we want you to challenge yourself to take a little bit of time out of your day, each day for the next seven days to begin appreciating yourself and others. We have mapped out a seven-day plan for you to follow and we would love to hear your appreciation stories. Combining this plan with daily emotion logging on the app will help you understand how just appreciating the small things can make such a difference to your underlying emotional state.
Day 1: Gratitude Journaling
• Write down three things you are grateful for today. Try to be specific (e.g., “I appreciate my morning coffee because it gives me energy and comfort.”).
• Pause and Reflect: How does focusing on gratitude shift your perspective for the day? How does it make you feel?
