By: Diana Long

Cultivating a practice of being thankful might just be one of the single most important things you could do to boost your bottom line AND your own feelings of life satisfaction. Did that get your attention? I hope so!

Gratitude is a very, very powerful emotion.

A recent study in the field of positive psychology reveals that a daily exercise of expressing gratitude can be so potent that individuals who had a diagnosis of depression actually got significantly happier! Wow. The exercise? It was simple and took about 5 minutes, tops.Here's what to do: Every night before going to sleep, reflect back on your day and think about what your top three "blessings" are. What were the best things that happened to you? Perhaps you took on a new client...wrote a chapter in your book...or had a lovely meal. Write these three "blessings" down on paper.Large or small,it doesn't matter. The essence of this exercise is taking the time to acknowledge and feel gratitude for what IS going well in your life. Do this every night for a month. Increased happiness is guaranteed!

It can be very easy to get "caught up" in the drama and stress of everyday living that we forget to be thankful.Period. Thankful for what we already have, thankful for the people in our lives. We are all in this together! No matter what line of work you are in or what personal project you are developing, we rely on and utilize the services of others to accomplish our goals. There's power in saying "Thank You!" Thanking people works for many reasons, on many levels. Bottom line is that it feels good to appreciate and it feels good to be appreciated! Authentic appreciation can be more effective than material incentives in many situations.

Here are "3 Quick and Easy Ways To Use Your Thank You Power":

1. Carry a few thank-you cards with you and commit to a daily practice of sending a note of thanks to 1 or 2 people who've helped you today.

2. Reflect on your career. Who were the top 25 people who helped you to get where you are today? Send them a note of appreciation.

3. Take stock of who your "key players" are in your own life from your spouse to your Virtual Assistant. Be sure to thank these people for all that they do to contribute to your success and happiness. Thank You Power...only more good will come from it!
