When we don’t accept thanks, we rob the giver of the good feelings that come from expressing it.In this Mental Mettle episode, Coach Thomann flips “Thanksgiving” into “Thanks Taking.” Practicing gratitude with others is great—and we should do it—but we also need to accept it, and recognize the good it does in us.What you’ll learn:How to take compliments without deflecting, and why it strengthens relationshipsHow to give yourself thanks so your brain learns what to repeatHow expressing gratitude to others also boosts your own mood and resilienceSubscribe for more episodes and insights from top coaches and leaders!For more information about Mental Mettle CoachingContact:  [email protected] a free coaching session with Coach ThomannOrder The Mental Mettle Podcast GearThe Mental Mettle Podcast | Official Gear | BonfireMental Mettle Links
