Welcome to APPRECIATION CHALLENGE: Day 18 of 66: Any other perfectionists in the crowd? Those of us who have high standards for ourselves (and, ahem, lets admit it, for others around us as well) often overlook ways in which weve grown. We get so focused on what can be improved next that we fail to acknowledge and appreciate the many ways in which weve actually discovered, learned and grown. Todays challenge is to appreciate at least five ways that youve grown recently. Heres an example: “I appreciate how much I have grown in ____________________________.” (e.g., demonstrating integrity, expressing how I feel, appreciating myself, enjoying life to its fullest, giving time for enjoying, etc.) For those new to the challenge, heres what were up to: This challenge is intended to create a new habit (takes average of 66 days) of appreciating starting with you (often the last to get attention, admit it). Were using the 5/1 ratio of appreciations to criticisms that was established by John Gottmans work (thriving relationships have at LEAST a 5/1 ratio of a/c). You can find earlier posts and challenges by looking down this page.
