Thank You Messages
With the busyness and our never-ending to-do lists, it can be easy to become focused on our stress. But when we stop to reflect on those in our lives for whom we are grateful, our perspective widens to others around us. Thanking others can actually improve your mood, outlook, and relationships.
Try this quick practice today:
- Sit in silence for a moment.
- Take a slow, deep cleansing breath.
- Reflect on others in your life for whom you are grateful.
- Name a specific reason you are thankful for one of those people.
- Send them a text message to let them know why you are thankful for them.
- If you live with them, write them a note and leave it somewhere they will find it.
