Hey, Jordan Harbinger here.
0
SPEAKER_00
Welcome to Mini-Sode Monday.
0
SPEAKER_00
Happy to be here with you, kicking off the week with something quick and actionable that you can implement right away.
0
SPEAKER_00
It ll make you more magnetic, it ll make you more effective, hopefully a little bit happier, especially today.
0
SPEAKER_00
Today, I wanted to talk a little bit about gratitude, and I hate, I mean, gratitude practice is kind of,
0
SPEAKER_00
It s overused, it s almost like this cliched buzzword, and I get that, and it took me a long time to even come around to it because it did seem super woo-woo and foofy.
0
SPEAKER_00
And we ve talked before many times on the show about keeping a journal in the morning and writing about gratitude or doing it at night or whatever.
0
SPEAKER_00
But one of the reasons that most of us don t express gratitude, especially to others, enough is because it s not a habit and it s not scheduled into our day.
0
SPEAKER_00
So this week, try this.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this has been a game changer for me in a really fun, simple, easy way.
0
SPEAKER_00
The minute you are thankful for someone or something someone did for you, text them, email them, send them a Facebook message, whatever, immediately, and don t wait.
0
SPEAKER_00
Do it as soon as you can.
0
SPEAKER_00
And this goes double for family, parents, things like that, people you never express gratitude towards.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I ll give you a classic example.
0
SPEAKER_00
Today I was taking a shower and I saw this weird
0
SPEAKER_00
bar of, it s a bar of shampoo.
0
SPEAKER_00
Jason, I don t know if you ve ever seen this before, but it s like this natural made bar of shampoo, which I didn t know existed.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I tried it and it smelled good.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I told Jen, Hey, where d we get this thing?
0
SPEAKER_00
And she said, Oh, Glenn, her brother gave it to us.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I thought, Oh, that was cool.
0
SPEAKER_00
And then I thought, you know, I could, I should just say thanks for that.
0
SPEAKER_00
He might may or may not care, but I probably never
0
SPEAKER_00
say thanks to Glenn for anything except when he picks us up from the airport and this is really important because people do a lot of little things for you probably all day every day and you just take it for granted which is normal because so what if your secretary left a bottle of hand lotion on your desk last week because she saw you had dry knuckles I mean you might have said oh yeah thanks for the lotion maybe you did that maybe you didn t maybe you think I don t want to have to call her and do that
0
SPEAKER_00
But you know what, a post-it note on her computer monitor, thanks so much for the lotion, with a little smiley face, would be a massive game changer.
0
SPEAKER_00
And we re gonna be talking with some guests here in the future on the show that show things like little things at work make all the difference in the world for your employees, and they ve got scientific data to back it up.
0
SPEAKER_00
So the minute you re thankful for someone or something someone did for you at home, at work, in your personal life, your professional life, let them know.
0
SPEAKER_00
Text, email, Facebook, in person if possible, do not wait.
0
SPEAKER_00
do it as soon as you can.
0
SPEAKER_00
It ll build the habit of gratitude and it will be a game changer for you, I promise.
0
SPEAKER_00
Of course, if you like these little vignettes, don t forget about the AOC Challenge.
0
SPEAKER_00
We ll help you connect with others, create more productive personal and business relationships, and we ve got step-by-step challenges to help you move forward.
0
SPEAKER_00

0
SPEAKER_00
