145: What to say, when you say thank you - a podcast by Jason W. Womack MEd, MA

I am not totally sure, but I think it's possible that some people you know may have made it through this entire day without having someone say thank you to them. Maybe, as you've been going through your day you have passed up an opportunity to look someone in the eye, pause take a deep breath in, and let them know how grateful you are. I know, I know, you are busy. As we all are.

There is a very simple way you can not only find, but make, time to say thank you to the people who most deserve it. Now, I wonder if you are already thinking, “Jason, people here think you all the time. I see how people are living in a very acknowledgment rich culture.”

What I am here to say, east on many years of experiential research, is when I acknowledge someone from a point of human connection, there is something different that happens to and with our relationship. In this week's podcast I outline one activity you can do immediately to test your level of gratitude. How do you score out of 100 points on the chart of gratitude?

At the end of the podcast I give you a very specific, step by step way of writing a hand written thank you card. I have been writing handwritten thank you cards almost every day for more than a decade. In fact, as I’m writing this post this week, on my desk are four addressed thank you cards simply waiting for the five or seven minutes it will take to write each one.

Now, in the middle of this podcast I share a personal story of something that my family is enduring right now. As you listen, I encourage you to also take a moment, bring someone you love to mind, and let yourself feel that connection you have two them. Wherever you are, and whatever you are about to do next, as always I wish you the very best.
