12 Ways to be Thankful (Gratitude Infographic)

Gratitude Infographic: Be Thankful!

This coming week is Thanksgiving in America. We’re also approaching the holidays which (for me at least) is also a time of gratitude and thankfulness—slowing down and appreciating what we have. So here’s a gratitude infographic to help.

We all know that gratitude is good for us—but what does that actually look like? It’s easy to take life for granted, so hopefully the 12 fiercely kind thankfulness tips below will help.

Plus, as always, there’s a Fierce Kindness practice with journal prompts/questions to go deeper at the end of this article.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wrap-up + A Fierce Kindness Practice

Fierce Kindness LogoA Fierce Kindness Practice to go Deeper

As you know, one of the core principles of Fierce Kindness is creating a deep connection with yourself. So:

  1. Consider which tip in the gratitude infographic above:
    1. Most RESONATES with you?
    2. Most UNSETTLES you?
  2. The tip that most RESONATES with you is within your comfort zone. Great!
    • How can you do more of this?
  3. And the tip that most UNSETTLES you is an area for you to “stretch” into (after all we can’t grow without discomfort).
    • To go even deeper, keep this particular tip in mind over the next week, or perhaps write it out on a post it and carry it with you.
    • Then notice when this ‘unsettling’ tip applies in your life. For example: Are you hard on yourself when you make a mistake? Could you focus instead on what you learend? Or could you make more effort to appreciate or thank the most important people in your life?
    • Lastly, what are some IDEAS you’ve been having, of changes you could make in your life around this tip—however small?

    Having partnered with you in the Coaches Helping Coaches group, though in limited fashion, I’ve always loved your style — fierce and kind. That “Deeper” extra bit, awesome!

    Emma-Louise. This infographic is beautiful in design (I love flowers) and, of course, the message.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you and those you hold dear.

    For those in the US Happy Thanksgiving eve (11/27/24). Emma-Louise, I am thankful and grateful for you and all of your great work! I have learned so much from you and have shared much of that with others who have been in programs I have delivered in a large corporation (e.g., 549 powerful coaching questions and so much more) and directed participants to you and The Coaching Tools Company and now Fierce Kindness. I am sharing this information this morning on an internal Teams site and trust others will learn from you.
    I am moving on from the corporate world to my next chapters effective 12/13/24. These chapters will include “Ed Nottingham Coaching & Consulting” and more travel with my loving wife. I know I will continue to learn from you and “Fierce Kindness.” Thank you for all you do.
