Crucial Chat: Gratitude - Positive Social Emotion and Emotional Intelligence

Thanksgiving is a great holiday: turkey, pie, football, and...GRATITUDE.

Gratitude is a strong positive social emotion.  The more we practice gratitude, the more we and the people that experience our gratitude benefit.

Gratitude can lead to higher levels of success, more loyalty, and increased happiness.

Through gratitude, people can gain respect, earn trust, and motivate others. 

Gratitude also replaces and prevents negative emotions. Gratitude can prevent anger, meanness, and jealousy. It's hard to be uncaring or unkind while you practice gratitude.

Gratitude also helps us build our ability to be empathetic. It improves our emotional intelligence.

Be grateful, be authentic, and do it often.

Happy Thanksgiving!
