The Speed of Delight
We know that practicing mindfulness and gratitude can improve our mental outlook and physical well-being. A “delight practice” is a quick, simple, and fun way to increase our awareness of how much joy and beauty surrounds us. How might your outlook change if you looked every day for at least one thing that delights you?
Embrace Your Inner Grump
It’s not always a bad thing to lean a little toward pessimism. We can learn a lot from our less optimistic team members because they challenge us to think outside the box rather than lead with blind optimism.
Counting Blessings
As songwriter Irving Berlin discovered years ago when he consulted a doctor about insomnia, it’s better to count your blessings rather than your grievances. Modern psychological research bears out the doctor’s advice: Gratitude is good for you.
So, this holiday season, recognize and express your gratitude freely!
