Moving with Gratitude— A clinicians guide to choose your Day!

Anything that disturbs our routines and what we have grown so accustomed to them is difficult to change.

Even though it was a significant transition, I tried to keep my mind on all the things for which I was glad, such as the opportunity to live in and travel in a new state and become accustomed to a new facility.

Why is gratitude important?

Gratitude leads to happier lives in positive psychology studies. It improves one's ability to experience joyful feelings, enjoys pleasant memories, maintain excellent health, overcomes challenges, and forge close personal bonds. It is reliving pleasant moments and expressing gratitude for prior blessings or formative experiences (not taking good fortune for granted as it comes). I believe that practicing appreciation has enabled me to transition from a state of uncertainty to one of calm.

Is it easy to become frustrated with the unfamiliar? Short answer, Yes! Moving away from negative thinking, however, has helped me develop into a person who dwells in the present and is appreciative of every second. If you want to choose your attitude, not just react, you must challenge your inner voice. Your inner voice starts talking to you as soon as you wake up, issuing opinions about everything you see, hear, smell and feel. It judges each experience through the likes and dislikes you have accumulated over a lifetime. Catch it in the moment, then take a step back to observe it as a neutral onlooker.

Why showing gratitude at work matters?

You can live a happier and longer life by being grateful. According to research, being grateful is closely linked to being happier. I will undoubtedly have a good day and feel good about yourself when I lead with gratitude.

Many healthcare professionals frequently feel depressed, anxious, and burned out. It is crucial for us to convey our gratitude to the hospital administrators, staff members, and coworkers with whom we interact on a regular basis. According to research, managers who expressed gratitude to their staff members at work exhibited better teamwork and productivity.

The bottom line

I enjoy what I do, and leading from gratitude has helped me maintain a positive outlook on life at work and at home. Today, I choose to be grateful. What do you choose?
