Think About it! 

According to the Research on Gratitude,  leading researcher in this field, Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, tested the impact of various positive psychology interventions on 411 people, each compared with a control assignment of writing about early memories. When their week's assignment was to write and personally deliver a letter of gratitude to someone who had never been properly thanked for his or her kindness, participants immediately exhibited a huge increase in happiness scores. This impact was greater than that from any other intervention, with benefits lasting for a month (Harvard Health 2).


GRATITUDE : DID YOU TELL THE PERSON you were GRATEFUL FOR HAVING THEM IN YOUR LIFE? This was the assignment on Tuesday. 

TASK: WRITE A SHORT LETTER ( text message or e-mail) telling ONE PERSON you are grateful to have them in your life. Jot down the way they responded.. 


For Example- My son is having a wonderful experience his first season playing 7th grade  tackle football. He runs around the house tackling the couch, the pillows, his sister , etc . He  sets up plays with chairs and pillows in the living room  to run around.. He has been talking so much about his tackle football coach and how much he is " THE BEST MOM" and for so many reasons.. I will  send him a text or pull him to the side next practice before Sunday's game and tell him all the positive things my son has been saying about him.  


Sounds simple right? In a world where everyone is busy and the time is moving so fast, we are often inclined to tackle the things that relate to our own schedules.. instead, the task is to step outside of what you need to do for yourself and do this for someone else . One of the things that stands out to me  about writing to someone that is doing wonderful things in life is that most  people will reach out to a coach, teacher, business owner , etc.. to COMPLAIN and FORGET that a Compliment  is VERY important and that our coaches, teachers, parents etc need to here the positive.. GRATITIDUE is one of the Ingredients in PERMA ( Happiness ) . I look forward to hearing about your gratitude letters on Tuesday Begin the process of PERMA! Let's Go !! 



We will go around and answer this first thing on Tuesday!!
