🌱 Recipe for Growth: Appreciation 🌱

plop March 6th

Happy Wednesday (my dudes)!

Today we'll think about appreciation.

What is appreciation?

It is relating to the world around you with a deep, full sense of joy and gratitude, being genuinely thankful, and not being afraid to express it.

Benefits of everyday appreciation:

* Improved social relationships

* Reduced depression

* Consistent positive thinking

* Improve sleep quality

* Lasting joy

* Reduce stress

* Increase general wellbeing

Activity:

* Practise showing appreciation every day, drop it into conversations and watch the mood lift!Β 

* Keeping a gratitude diary is also shown to increase wellbeing and positive thinking. Before you go to bed write 1-3 things you were grateful for during that day. (bonus points if your gratitude diary is super cute!)

Reflection:

What could you say to the next person you see to show appreciation?

How do you feel when others express appreciation for you?

What could you say to the next person you see to show appreciation?

Something I could say to the next person I see to show appreciation is sharing something I admire about them.

How do you feel when others express appreciation for you?

When others express appreciation for me I feel deeply safe, content and protected.

😁

I usually write in my gratitude journal in the morning but recently became stuck.

Writing in it at night at the end of day instead when there's many things to choose from is the ticket!

Thanks so much for that! 😊😊😊

To show appreciation to the next person I see, I can provide them with a small smile or compliment, as these actions can go a long way. Or, I can thank the person for all they have done for me if it is someone I know, as my friends and family have done a lot for me to be thankful for.Β 

When someone shows appreciation towards me, it makes me feel very valued, as the kind actions that I am doing for that person are not going unnoticed. No matter how small or large the display of appreciation is, it is always incredibly fulfilling for others to acknowledge their gratitude toward you.Β 

@plop

What could you say to the next person you see to show appreciation?

Even if I knew who this person was in advance I doubt I could express appreciation.


How do you feel when others express appreciation for you?

I feel empty and put in the spotlight to be judged/compared to others.

Appreciation, as you described, is a profound way of relating to the world with gratitude and joy. It's a powerful tool for fostering positivity and improving overall well-being.


Expressing appreciation to others can be as simple as saying "thank you" or acknowledging something positive about them. It can make both parties feel good and strengthen relationships.


When others express appreciation for you, it can feel validating and uplifting. It reinforces positive behavior and encourages continued positive interactions

@plop

i guess i would tell them i am proud of them.

i feel appreciated and that i have actually done something.



@plop

What could you say to the next person you see to show appreciation? Unless i know who this person is i can't know if they have done something that i appreciate. The short answer is i have no appreciation for most people.

How do you feel when others express appreciation for you? I feel uncomeatable like any time attention id brought to me.Β
