January: National Thank You Month
It makes sense that January is National Thank You month! Perhaps you got an amazing gift from a loved one. Maybe you were shown some really lovely hospitality over the holiday break. Or maybe you were invited to a fabulous holiday bash! Learning how to integrate more thankfulness into your life can be done by making just a few simple tweaks. Here are some ideas to add just a little more gratitude into your life this year.
Idea # 1: Write More Thank You Notes in Your Own Voice.
Now is your chance to say what you may have trouble saying face-to-face, especially if a gift or gesture was sent across the miles. To really get through to the recipient, make sure you write in your own voice. What does that mean? Simply put, it means don't use words that you wouldn't say in conversation.
Do:
"I just wanted to thank you so much for writing that awesome college recommendation letter. I think it really made a difference in getting so many acceptance letters!"
Don't:
"It is with great joy and optimistic expectation that I extend my sincerest gratitude for the exemplary recommendation letter that you penned in my honor."
Idea # 2: Show Your Gratitude
Don't just say thank you - show your thanks. Here are a couple ideas on how you can show your gratitude:
· Run an errand they didn't have time to do.
· Bring them coffee or take-out lunch on a busy day at the office.
