It is important to show appreciation and express gratitude for the people in our lives. Below are three quick tips on how to show gratitude: 1. Thank someone.

Give something of yourself-taking a friend out for coffee, buying a gift card, or making time in your day to help others. 👇 What is one way you can show gratitude toward the people in your life? #appreciation #gratitude #helpingothers

For Valentine’s Day we got our kids Wendy’s gift cards. I love this as a gift because we get to do a night out with them, but also I make them order for themselves and the only rule is they can’t spend more money than what’s on the gift card. They always get nervous and ask, “Dad, can you order for me?” but I make them do it and it helps teach them so many basic skills: 1. How to talk to people (specifically adults) 2. How to be polite and use manners 3. How to speak clearly and loud enough 4. How to look people in the eyes 5. How to order food (very important) 6. How to read a menu 7. How to make decisions 8. How to do basic math 9. How to use a credit card machine 10. How to eat in public (they’re so bad at this lol) The more they do these things while at home the better they’ll be after they leave the nest. Did I miss anything?

The importance of recognizing achievement. At the end of every month we tally up the attendance of our members. If a member attends 16 or more classes in that month they're put in a drawing for a prize. Usually a gift card, massage or cash. If that member attends 16+ classes three months in a row we get them a custom tee. We use this to signify their devotion to their fitness and overall health. It's so important to address those who are putting in the consistent work. Showing up when they don't want to. Being present when they want to be on the couch. Consistency over everything. Celebrate wins. Express gratitude.
