Written by Jenn Fisher, the article focuses on explaining the importance of actively showing gratitude in the workplace and how that brings benefits. First, the author discusses the benefits of showing gratitude for one's life. Personal benefits include physical health, optimism, and better sleep. Gratitude can then be extended toward coworkers. More gratitude in the workplace leads to higher work satisfaction, better eating habits, and fewer headaches. Gratitude can be shown by simply thanking others and making an effort to show appreciation. The article then lists six different ways to actively practice gratitude in daily life. First, people should make it a point to thank others and take spontaneous actions such as writing others thank you notes without it being a special occasion. People should also thank others directly and sincerely instead of being satisfied with sending a thank you email. It is recommended that everyone keeps a journal where they write down and reflect on what they are thankful for. Workers need to appreciate their own contributions too and thank themselves for their hard work over the years. Lastly, people should search for gratitude in challenging situations. When things do not seem to go smoothly, there is always something to be grateful for.
