This week I thought a fun exercise would be the “Gratitude Visit”, an exercise developed by Dr. Marty Seligman a leader in the field of Positive Psychology. This field studies on helping “normal” people lead fuller more happy lives. So get your happy on this week and follow these three basic steps to lift your spirit and increase your joy.
!) Think of someone who has done something important and wonderful for you, yet who you have not properly thanked.
2) Reflect on the benefits you received from this person, and write a letter expressing your gratitude for all they have done for you.
3) Arrange a time to deliver the letter in person, and spend some time talking with the person about what you have wrote.
Do you feel those endorphins pumping already???
