It definitely takes practice to change our response to others, especially those who tend to come from a negative or critical place. The key is to respond rather than react. A reaction means that they are controlling the direction, whereas a response puts you in the drivers seat. Hi George, so glad you found this information useful.

You are very encouraging and supportive. A gratitude journal is an excellent way to stay in the attitude of gratitude. Reading through it when you need an attitude adjustment also serves as a great reminder. I love your response to the "How are you?" question. I usually say "fabulous" but I think I'll borrow yours and see what happens. Hi Nancy, I am also grateful that you share your gems with the rest of us. You are very encouraging and supportive.

I really believe that the world would be a better place if we would all step back from all the critical talk and start showing more gratitude every day. Like you say in #6: "Doing this will make you feel better and it will encourage others to be more considerate... you can be a force for good simply by spreading some gratitude around" My wife and I started a company completely based around helping improve positive communication by sharing gratitude. We just launched our "preview" release and would love to have you and your readers test it out and tell us how we could improve but I don't want to SPAM your list and will only submit a <a href="http://ourkudos.com//" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</a> if you say it's ok. Keep helping people realize their potential. -Ted Jonathan,
