Thank you note by Kim

Say “Please and thank you.” It’s one of the first lessons we learn as children.
As we grow into adulthood the amount of appreciation we express, and our ability to sincerely say “Thank you” has a dramatic impact on how we relate to others.

Researchers Adam M. Grant and Francesco Gino studied the impact of a sincere ‘Thank You’ in the workplace.
Their findings show a 50 percent increase in the amount of additional help being offered as a result of the appreciation. That’s HUGE.

The University of Georgia recently conducted a survey on the subject of marital happiness. This statement was included in their findings:
“We found that feeling appreciated and believing that your spouse values you directly influences how you feel about your marriage, how committed you are to it, and your belief that it will last.”

We all have this very powerful tool, the words “Thank You”. They have the ability to motivate, create good will, make peace, and solidify love and commitment.
Lots of things happen when we sincerely thank someone. First, the obvious, you feel good about yourself for having manners and being polite. But it goes much, much deeper than that for both of you:

The Thanker :
Produces positive emotional state
Increases sense of well-being
Triggers ‘feel good’ hormones
Re-enforces virtuous cycle in your brain

The Thankee :
Feels higher levels of self-worth
Triggers greater desire to help Thanker
Triggers helpful behaviors toward others
Appreciate being needed
Feel more socially valued

Learning:
Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless…
