Stress Busters for Eco-Innovators
New Year? Try the Appreciation Game
Appreciation can strengthen bonds and build trust in relationships. Paying attention to what you appreciate about others and telling them sincerely about it creates win-win relationships—both in your personal and work lives.
Voltaire, a writer and philosopher from the 17th century once said, “ Appreciation is a wonderful thing; it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.”
A fun way to show your genuine gratitude about a person is by citing an example and sharing it with them. Look back over the past year and see if you can come up with 4 or 5 cases and express them. Then, ask the other person to do the same for you. When you are finished, each of you can look inward and say what you appreciate about yourself. That is not being self-centered, it reinforces the characteristics of the person you want to be.
