Languages Of Appreciation

In 1992 Gary Chapman released his best-selling book The 5 Love Languages outlining how romantic partners expressed and experienced love.

While I was working on a recent presentation for a group of veterinary hospital managers I thought about these "love languages" as it related to how we all feel appreciated at work.

Well come to find out Gary Chapman had thought of this too and in 2011 he partnered with Paul White and wrote The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace.

Like "love languages", the 5 languages of appreciation are:
1. Words of Affirmation
2. Acts of Service
3. Tangible Gifts
4. Quality Time
5. Physical Touch

You can access a 30-question quiz for your staff/team or to find out your own "language of appreciation" at www.rekindlesolutions.com/language.

Delaying Joy

Does this sound familiar? When I finish this class/lose the weight/hire the associate/the kids go back to school....then I'll be happy, feel relaxed and be able to chill. The problem with this way of thinking is that 1.) it relegates your emotions to the circumstances of your life (which is not true) and 2.) it delays your joy to the future that keeps it perpetually out of reach.

My Wish For You

This week I had a birthday and while I'm so grateful to be alive and in good health, I also feel so much gratitude for you. Those that give of themselves and make many, many sacrifices to improve animals lives or deaths are what I call unsung heroes. Please allow me to just express a little of what is in my heart. I even have a poem for you and about you. Listen in!
