Description of the Tool:

Studies show that counting your blessings helps you to be more aware of all the good things in your life. During this exercise, you will start by taking a look at all the blessings around you and choose a person that you are grateful for in your life.

Step 1: Choose a person who you feel grateful for.

Step 2: Write a letter of appreciation to this person, highlighting why you feel appreciative of being in his/her presence. Let the person know the happiness that they have brought in your life.

Step 3: Try to do this exercise and catch your breath as many times as you need. The busier you feel, the more you need to stop and take a break.

Step 4: Send the letter either in person or via an email. Call the letter/email ‘The Special Delivery’.

Tip: You can write a letter to yourself of everything that you are appreciative for in yourself.
