Here are 4 ways you can take gratefulness to the next level. 1. Don’t just be grateful in general. Be grateful in specifics. Express gratefulness in specific terms, for example. “I noticed you’ve been engaging your colleagues into discussions. I appreciate your leadership. It makes my job a lot easier.” Or “I am grateful for sleeping safely.” 2. Don’t take anything for granted. Don’t take for granted what people that are closest to you do for you daily: the cooking and cleaning from your spouse, growth opportunities given to you by your boss, and experiences provided by parents. Acknowledge each meal, each laundry, each new assignment, each vacation, and each gift. 3. Acknowledge people’s efforts even if you don’t like it. If an employee is putting effort into a project but is still struggling, if a colleague demonstrates effort to help you but fails, if a loved one is putting effort to change behavior but is having setbacks, acknowledge their efforts instead of judging them. And then offer to help them. 4. Be grateful for the challenges you meet because they give you an opportunity to discover yourself. Recognize that it is in your journey of overcoming that you will find yourself and encounter some of the most insightful moments in your life. “Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” – Eckhart Tolle
