💻 Cultivating Gratitude
You know that thing…
…that thing that happened to you years ago?
The one that had such a profound and positive impact on you that you said your life would never be the same again?
I want you to recall that event or experience now before you launch this week’s microlearning.
We’re going to use a technique called counterfactual thinking to help you bake in all the goodness you received from that event or experience.
Instructions: Before you engage the microlearning, it may be useful for you to do so during your scheduled personal development time so you can get the maximum benefits from the exercise.
You may also want to have your personal development notebook with you so you can capture any insights or observations that may arise while doing the exercise.
