This week in the US we celebrated the Thanksgiving holiday.  It’s a day in which we give thanks for what we have, connect with loved ones and start to wind down the year.  As with everything in 2020, Thanksgiving looked and felt a lot different than most years due to the continued global pandemic crisis. 2020 has without a doubt brought challenges and hardships for all of us in the Coaching 4 Good community and because of this it may feel harder to feel positive.  The good news is that each of us has the opportunity to shift to a more optimistic mindset by intentionally cultivating gratitude.

• Write down three good things per day for a week.  Research discovered that by doing this it kept happiness rates up for six months.

• Write a gratitude letter to someone you want to acknowledge in your life. A study from the University of Pennsylvania, led by Dr. Martin Seligman, found people who wrote and delivered a sincere gratitude letter genuinely felt better for a full month after.

• Pay it forward by helping others.  Showing kindness towards someone in a social situation not only helps ensure that act of kindness will be returned, but it can also make people more inclined to “pay it forward” and help someone else entirely.

For us here at Coaching 4 Good we have so much to be grateful for- including being able to connect more with our families, the increased appreciation of vulnerability as we moved to remote work and having our kids at home, a larger appreciation of self-care, and a bigger focus on diversity and inclusivity across many organizations.

We’re also grateful that to be a partner with you on this journey.   Be well and stay connected – we’re here for you when you need us!
