This can prevent jealousy, competition, and dissatisfaction\u2014things that ultimately lead to conflict with your colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: While the authors focus on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/benefits-of-being-grateful\/\">benefits of gratitude<\/a> in the workplace, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org\/hometown-health\/speaking-of-health\/can-expressing-gratitude-improve-health#:~:text=Studies%20have%20shown%20that%20feeling,problem%2Dsolve%20rather%20than%20appreciate.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">practicing gratitude may also positively impact your overall well-being<\/a>. Some studies have linked being grateful to lower disease risk, lower levels of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/low-mood-and-anxiety\/\">anxiety and depression<\/a>, and reduced pain.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-practice-gratitude\"><strong>How to Practice Gratitude<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To practice gratitude, the authors recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-pay-attention\/\">paying attention<\/a> to and celebrating even the smallest positive aspects of the things and people around you. <\/strong>For instance, if a subordinate submits a report, appreciate not just the whole piece, but the careful construction of each sentence and the clarity of the conclusion. This will give you more aspects of something to be grateful for; and, the more you express gratitude for things, the more valuable they\u2019ll feel to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: It\u2019s possible that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindful.org\/feeling-grateful-for-the-small-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">feeling grateful for the small things becomes easier as you get older<\/a>. Younger people may be more likely to focus on big-picture aspirations\u2014for instance, finding the right career and finding the love of their life. They therefore don\u2019t notice the small-scale joys in life and don\u2019t think to be grateful for them. Then, as more years go by, we experience more difficulties in life\u2014relationship challenges, career stresses, and disappointing failures. We\u2019re more inclined to seek small pockets of gratitude under these circumstances as a respite from our struggles.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further, express gratitude to others. <\/strong>The authors explain that effectively expressed gratitude has a few components: Your statement must be genuine, reference the specific details you&#8217;re grateful for, and use as few words as possible. That way, the other person will quickly understand exactly what you appreciate and why. They\u2019ll also see you as more sincere\u2014rambling on can make people doubt you\u2019re being serious.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/nonviolent-communication\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Nonviolent Communication<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Marshall Rosenberg echoes the authors\u2019 advice to be genuine and specific when expressing gratitude. In particular, he recommends explaining what the person did, what needs their actions fulfilled, and what positive emotions that fulfillment created. For example, you might say \u201cYour presentation was so comprehensive that the audience truly saw things from your perspective. I saw people tearing up in the audience. They felt moved enough to give you a standing ovation.\u201d Further, whereas the authors of <em>15 Commitments <\/em>recommend being as concise as possible, Rosenberg encourages you to be as detailed in your gratitude as you see fit.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Finally, accept gratitude from others. <\/strong>The authors recommend thinking of gratitude as a present\u2014if someone gave you a present, it would be rude to refuse it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-stop-worrying-and-start-living\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>How to Stop Worrying and Start Living<\/em><\/a><em>, <\/em>Dale Carnegie warns that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-stop-worrying-and-start-living\/part-4#rule-3-expect-lack-of-gratitude\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">it\u2019s important not to <em>expect<\/em> gratitude from others<\/a>. This is because gratitude is a cultivated skill (that not everyone has), while ingratitude is human nature. If you expect gratitude from others, you\u2019ll likely end up disappointed and resentful, and again, focused on lack. Instead, take enjoyment from the process of giving without expecting anything in return.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you show your employees that you appreciate them?
