Increases self-esteem<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When you count your blessings in life, when you\u2019re <strong>thankful<\/strong> for the things you have, the people who surround you, you\u2019re more able to make yourself <strong>believe<\/strong> that life is indeed good.<\/p>\n<p>When life is good, you begin to see yourself as <strong>worthy<\/strong> of that life. You\u2019re less likely to get bogged down by your insecurities because you feel that you are good enough.<\/p>\n<p>If a person is grateful for what he has, he becomes more confident that he has something <strong>worthwhile<\/strong> to offer the world in return.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2. Improves relationships<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We often hear people say that all they want is a little appreciation, a little <strong>acknowledgment<\/strong> from their partners.<\/p>\n<p>That before they\u2019re criticized for the things they failed to do, they wish their significant others take notice of the things they did well.<\/p>\n<p>Expressing gratitude for the <strong>littlest things<\/strong> that your partner does will make them want to do more things for you. Of course, it shouldn\u2019t be a <em>manipulation<\/em> tactic, but the effect of having your efforts acknowledged really makes a difference in one\u2019s <strong>attitude<\/strong> towards making them.<\/p>\n<p>Even in conflict resolution, saying \u201cThank you for letting me know that you felt this way&#8230;\u201d is better than starting it with \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you tell me you were feeling like this?\u201d before proceeding to discuss the problem at hand. Opening with the <strong>positive<\/strong> will direct the conversation towards a more open discussion as opposed to coming out as an attack.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3. Helps you sleep better<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Personally, I think the way you sleep at night says a lot about you. It gives you an <strong>insight<\/strong> on what you\u2019re feeling at that moment and what\u2019s going on in your head.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself battling your way to a good night\u2019s sleep, you\u2019re probably <strong>worried<\/strong> about something, and unless you find what it is and see it in a <strong>more positive light<\/strong>, you\u2019ll lose more than just sleep in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Positive thoughts will help <strong>sooth<\/strong> your mind and make you feel relaxed. That will translate to how you will feel the next day. You\u2019ll end up more productive and more confident.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4. Makes you fun<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Hanging out with a negative person, someone who always has something bad to say about the world, tends to make the small annoyances of life seem like the big things.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you\u2019re with someone who\u2019s just the right amount of <strong>positive<\/strong>, who reminds you to see a flat tire as a way to spend time with your companion, or to laugh at that stain on your white shirt, it puts a lot of things in <strong>perspective<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>You become a <strong>beacon<\/strong> of light for someone else.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5. Makes you a better boss, employee, teammate<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>At work, just as in your relationship, acknowledging someone\u2019s efforts will give them confidence and boost their morale.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a boss, your people hang on to your every word. They believe in you. If you show them that you believe in them too, and that you\u2019re <strong>impressed<\/strong> at even the <em>littlest<\/em> tasks they perform well, they will strive harder to not disappoint you in the <strong>bigger<\/strong> things.<\/p>\n<p>As an employee, when you thank your boss for mentoring you, for showing you the correct way of doing something when you make a mistake, you <strong>acknowledge<\/strong> their status and make them feel like a good leader. This will make them feel like they\u2019re doing a good job handling you and will make them feel <strong>more open<\/strong> to your suggestions later on.<\/p>\n<p>As a part of a team, when each of you <strong>commend<\/strong> each other\u2019s efforts into making a project good, it <strong>strengthens<\/strong> the feeling of camaraderie and builds a stronger foundation for the company to stand on. Solid groups will yield <strong>better<\/strong> results in the workplace.<\/p>\n<h3>This FREE gift is for you!<\/h3>\n<p>These are 3 Meditation MP3 Audio Tracks that our team has created that you can<br \/>\ndownload and listen to right now.<\/p>\n<p>Use them to:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Live your BEST Life<br \/>\n\u2022 Wire your mind for MORE MONEY<br \/>\n\u2022 Attract Abundant Health<\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinymiracle.com\/free-download\/\">100% Free Meditation MP3 Audio Tracks<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.destinymiracle.com\/free-download\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1874\" src=\"https:\/\/destinymiracle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MM-MP3.jpg\" alt=\"Guided Meditation Tracks\" width=\"933\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/destinymiracle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MM-MP3.jpg 933w, https:\/\/destinymiracle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MM-MP3-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/destinymiracle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/MM-MP3-768x346.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 933px) 100vw, 933px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Enjoy and have a great day!<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Heather<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author of Manifestation Miracle Do you want to unlock your inner power to manifest the life you&#8217;ve been dreaming of?
