Episode 3934: Kristen Manieri reimagines gratitude as a shared, tangible act by committing to write 365 handwritten thank you notes in one year. Through this simple but powerful practice, she discovers deeper connection, heightened awareness, and a more meaningful way to acknowledge the people who shape her daily life. Her experience invites us to move gratitude off the page of a private journal and into the hands of others, where its impact multiplies. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gottman.com/blog/stop-creating-gratitude-lists-and-do-this-instead/ Quotes to ponder: "The act of writing a thank you note is so different from typing an email or tapping in a text. It’s slower, more thoughtful, and more heartfelt." "No act is ever too small to deserve acknowledgment." "This project taught me to notice that every single day we are touched by the people we interact with if we allow ourselves to be." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
