Gratitude Practice Guide for Busy Healthcare Leaders
You know that you should practice gratitude, but you’re seriously overwhelmed and don’t have the time to start.
What if you could find the way to add moments of gratitude to your day, without it seeming like another thing you have to do?
This practice guide takes five touch points of your day so that you can weave in moments of gratitude. You’ll feel lighter, boost your mental wellbeing, feel able to deal with challenges and issues as they arise and finish your day, knowing the difference you have made.
Gratitude is an emotion that reflects our deep appreciation for what we value, what brings meaning to our lives and what makes us feel connected to ourselves and others. [Brene Brown in Atlas of the Heart]
Gratitude is also a practice. it is a way of being, an intention, a habit to build into your daily routine. As with all habits and practices, it's one we keep trying at. This workbook is a supercharge of that daily practice. It's a space for permission to take time to call on all the things you feel grateful for. From that, you'll see how to make it a daily practice, and ways in which you can add it to your day. It's the habit that is going to reap the superpower benefits.
From there you build your skill of expressing gratitude to others. Another intentional action, that takes a little bit of effort and notice to get right. Once you have it right, you are building a culture that demonstrates personal appreciative feedback. You get more of the behaviours you want to see in your team and your team feel great, stays at work and there you have it - you are changing the way it feels to work in healthcare. Magic.
