As noted by the Cleveland Clinic and others, people experience physical and mental benefits when focusing on gratitude, like engaging in healthier habits and blocking toxic emotions. Additionally, gratitude can strengthen relationships, result in better sleep and enhance resiliency.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five tips for public servants to embrace this mindset to better equip themselves to handle adversity. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-reframing-thoughts-nbsp-nbsp\" style=\"text-transform:none\">1. Reframing thoughts&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Practice reframing thoughts with a lens of gratitude. For example, reframe \u201cThis new process is frustrating\u201d to \u201cI\u2019m grateful that I\u2019m capable of learning new things.\u201d This practice can change the way people perceive challenges and filter out negative thoughts. Here are some other ways to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calm.com\/blog\/reframing-negative-thoughts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">challenge negative thinking<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-gratitude-journaling-nbsp-nbsp\" style=\"text-transform:none\">2. Gratitude journaling&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Write down what have gratitude for. This practice makes thoughts tangible and makes people more likely to express gratitude in their everyday lives. Daily reflection through journaling can also foster appreciation for the small things in life. Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calm.com\/blog\/gratitude-journal#:~:text=Keeping%20a%20gratitude%20journal%20can,feelings%20of%20loneliness%20and%20isolation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gratitude prompts<\/a> to start.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-writing-notes-nbsp-nbsp\" style=\"text-transform:none\">3. Writing notes&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Give someone a handwritten note. Physical notes are more personal than sending a message in an email. Handwritten notes reinforce feelings of gratitude for other people and can strengthen interpersonal connections.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make the content of the note specific. \u201cGreat job\u201d lands differently than \u201cYou stayed calm when engaging with a difficult customer and helped find a solution. I\u2019m grateful.\u201d It may take a little more time but conveying this appreciation helps reinforce positive behavior and lets people know what in their effort made a difference. Consider <a href=\"https:\/\/bellagracemagazine.com\/blog\/the-beauty-of-handwritten-letters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tips for writing handwritten notes<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-verbal-acknowledgement-nbsp-nbsp\" style=\"text-transform:none\">4. Verbal acknowledgement&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Call someone or send a voice memo to express gratitude. Like a handwritten note, a verbal acknowledgement can be more personalized and meaningful to the recipient. Sending gratitude through calls or voice memos can also improve verbal communication skills and strengthen professional relationships. The recipient will likely feel encouraged to continue positive behaviors because of a sincere, trust-building act of verbal acknowledgement.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-token-of-gratitude-nbsp-nbsp\" style=\"text-transform:none\">5. Token of gratitude&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep a tangible token that represents gratitude. It can be a reminder to stop, take a few deep breaths and practice gratitude in small moments throughout the day. Try to notice this token at work every day, first thing in the morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For inspiration, read through some of the entries on our <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/our-solutions\/recognition\/public-service-recognition-week\/gratitude-wall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Public Service Recognition Week Gratitude Wall<\/a>, which include many things public servants do to make others grateful.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigating change in government\u2014especially during presidential transitions\u2014can be stressful for career civil servants. While it may seem like a small action, focusing on gratitude is one strategy they can employ to manage this adversity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
