The Gratitude Attitude

The end of November is upon us and that moves us to gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving. An amazing feast with our families and friends is just one of the tangible benefits of the Thanksgiving holiday. However, don’t overlook some of the intangible benefits we enjoy when we celebrate with an overall mindset of gratitude.

Be grateful for what you have.

Recent studies have established when people take time to identify specific positive attributes in others or their actions, and take time to record them in some way, they tend to:

• Have a relative absence of stress and depression
• Make progress toward important personal goals
• Report higher levels of determination and energy

Using imapMyTeam® makes it easy to find and document positive attributes of your team and other co-workers.

Take a few minutes to read about what your colleagues contribute to the team by running their “Strengths Summary” report. Just login to imapmyteam.com click on their name to move them to the center pane and select that report to view it. Consider their contributions and how they add to the team’s overall success. Perhaps write down a few notes to solidify your appreciation.

We hope you enjoy some time away from the demands of work and your return from the holiday comes with a renewed attitude of gratitude!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
