Appreciation

2/23/2012

0 Comments

 
Everyone likes to be appreciated.  When someone expresses appreciation to us, we are energized and generally want to do even more and do it better.  We tend to gravitate to those who appreciate us.  When we express appreciation we purposefully pay attention to those blessings in our life and positive traits/ behaviors that others in our life contribute.  Too much of the time we either do not pay attention or we get exclusively focused on the negative.
All of our relationships would likely benefit from a dose of appreciation.  Think of how nice it would be if you were appreciated at work  One of the best ways to contribute to that culture is to become more appreciative yourself.  You will feel better and your workplace enviornment will more pleasant and positive as well.
In our marriages, appreciation is one of the daily disciplines/ mechanisms for enhancing the connection.  That  connection is associated with our overall sense of security and well-being.  Take the challenge.  Determine to add to the connection in your relationships by expressing appreciation.  You will be glad you did.
