EXERCISE: BEING GRATEFUL

Gratitude is about paying attention to things in your life, and not taking them for granted. So, why not take stock?

Write a list of all the things you’re grateful for. They can be big things and small things. Maybe your subway stop is right next to your home and you never properly appreciated how convenient that is. Maybe your favorite coffee shop is next to work. Maybe your work schedule lines up perfectly with having to drop your kid off at school.

You might be grateful that you live in a sunny city, that the airport closest to you has lots of direct flights, that there are not many poisonous spiders in your home country. Whatever it is, big or small, write it down. Are you grateful for your friends, partner, kids, parents? Put them on the list.

Now, think about the speech you’re about to give. What good things could come from it? Why are people asking you to do it? Surely there’s a reason, and it’s probably a good one. Rarely do judges sentence people to public speaking. It’s not a chore, remember — it’s an opportunity you’ve been given. Add it to the list!
