As we transition from the Thanksgiving holiday back to our routines, it’s easy to feel the drag of returning to work. Instead of seeing the holiday as something that’s behind us, why not carry the spirit of gratitude forward?

Here’s a quick exercise to help you reflect and reset:

  1. What are three things you were grateful for this Thanksgiving holiday?
  2. What are two things you are grateful for at work?
  3. What is one thing you are looking forward to this week?

Answering these questions can help you appreciate the highlights of last week, recognize what’s working well in your professional life, and focus on something positive ahead.
