What are you grateful for?
If you are new to our online community here at Private Practice from the Inside Out, welcome! And, if you have been with us before, welcome back!
As a way of building our “gratitude muscles” and to help our colleagues build theirs, too, every Friday we will be hosting Mustard Seeds & Mega-Gifts: A Community Gratitude Journal. Here you can share the large and small gifts and opportunities that come your way while building your private practice. And, here is where I am sharing my appreciation . . . .
I am grateful for the courage and wisdom to turn clients away who ask for services that I cannot competently provide.”
If you would like to build your own gratitude muscles by sharing your appreciations with us, here is how our gratitude journal works . . . .
- It will post weekly on Fridays.
- Your job is not to just be a passive observer but to contribute to the post by sharing something that you are grateful for.
- Just send an email note of appreciation related to anything that supports you growing your practice and put “Mustard Seeds” in the subject line.
- I’ll post it the following Friday as part of our community gratitude journal!
- And, if you forget to send an email, you are welcome to just add your appreciations to the comments of the weekly post!
- Afraid you’ll forget or slack off on sharing what you are grateful for? You can sign up here to receive blog updates for Private Practice from the Inside Out (that you can use as nudges and reminders to share your appreciations) in your email inbox.
Research indicates that by consciously savoring those large and small gifts that come way, our joy and ability to recognize other opportunities are intensified.
I am grateful for the individuals, families, counselors, emergency staff, law enforcement, and all others involved in helping with the traumatic events in the Colorado movie theater early this morning. My thoughts are with the entire community, not only because of the current incident, but because of its close geographic proximity to the 1999 trauma at Columbine High School.
Oh, yes, Lauren! Just now hearing about this this morning. Blessings to those families and first responders! (Needing blood donations due to the high number of victims.)
I am thankful for God and his Word that helps me understand why evil, hurtful things happen in the world Also his Word keeps me focused on my responsibility to use my gifts to help others and glorify Him and to not lose hope.!!! Also thankful for this blog and other therapists! 🙂
Thanks, Deb, for sharing!
