3-2-1 TUESDAYS WITH MS NIV

Issue #66, 12th October 2021

Gratitude is the greatest self-help trend that is going on today. The attitude of gratitude. How is it practiced? How does it help us? How does it help the one you are grateful to when explicitly told? Not just ‘thought of’ or ‘written on’ in a personal gratitude journal or a list? Is it an attitude that can be acquired? A skill that can be taught? a communication that can be done more often? Check out Keka’s talk in the video shared in the newsletter where she urges us to turn this self-help trend to a world-help one and share our gratitude emotions with those who we are grateful to. Now and everyday. Not wait for a eulogy or keep it contained in gratitude journals or meditative minds. What do you say? Here are some tips on how to teach it to your children/students and yourselves while at it.

“You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing.” Charlotte to Wilbur in Charlotte’s Web (E.B. White)

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” Maya Angelou

One Video of the Week

Why do we, on one hand, wait until someone leaves the room to praise them; then on the other hand, privately journal all of the things for which we’re grateful? How many of us have been positively impacted by someone, yet we never told them? In this heartfelt talk, Keka shares her journey of loss and love, and how she stumbled upon an unexpected side effect of gifting gratitude: one which combats today’s self-worth crisis, and our bullying and loneliness epidemics.

Her story may forever change how you practice gratitude. Keka is dedicated to moving people from feeling helpless to helpful through the powerful (and completely free) act of sharing gratitude.
