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.
Here is How It’s Going to Work . . . .
- 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!
- 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.
Today I am grateful for the discernment to know when to step out of a project that does not fit.”
Bryan Funk says
I was lying in bed a few days ago attempting to will myself to get up (morning are not my best time). I was really grateful and blessed to be lying in a comfortable bed. I know many of my clients did not have this nor the feeling of safety it implies.
Tamara Suttle says
Nice, Bryan. I appreciate your sensitivity to those who are often forgotten.
Lyndsey Fraser, MA, LAMFT says
Today I am thankful for my consultation group of other private practice therapists. It assists me in assuring I am providing the best care possible for my clients and also provides much needed support in what can be an isolated community. Thank you!
Tamara Suttle says
Ditto! Just returned from meeting with my consultation group. Such a great group of therapists – all eager and willing to support and learn from each other. I’m thankful for mine, too!
