Are you aware of the power of gratitude? It’s a pretty incredible way of approaching life’s ups and downs (and wow! are we being tested today)- enough so that entire lifestyles are rooted in a strong gratitude practice. Studies show that gratitude leads to health, happiness, enhanced self-esteem, stronger relationships, reduced stress, greater creativity, resilience… the list goes on and on.

Create Deeper Bonds With Your Team?

How well do you really know your team? Most of us are stuck on the surface, interfacing with the superficial aspects of ourselves rather than our true identities. And, unfortunately, the best of us is linked to our genuine selves. This means that entire teams aren’t bringing their A-game to the table, and they’re only held back by social boundaries. Seems like a monumental loss, if you ask me.

Creating a deeper bond with the team will help you appreciate everyone for their individual strong suits, allowing the entire team to start actualizing their highest quality work. Being grateful for those around you will transform your ‘work’ relationship from mere acquaintances into deeper friendships. 

Get to know each other better and see the treasures that are right before your eyes. ?

If you approach the hard times from a place of gratitude, you can cut back on unnecessary stress and worry and get straight to the ‘growing’ part. Don’t waste time wishing and wanting - be thankful for the friction you’ve faced and allow your failures to propel you forward. (Click here to continue reading...)
