Thank you is underused. Not the automatic phrase, but the genuine acknowledgment of what someone did for you. This simple practice creates remarkable value.
For the receiver, thanks feels good. It signals that their effort was noticed and appreciated. It encourages future generosity.
For the giver, thanks shifts focus to what was received. It cultivates awareness of gifts and help that might otherwise go unnoticed. It develops the gratitude muscle.
Who deserves your genuine thanks today?
