Rosa - taking time to be grateful is an essential muscle to develop. Here's a little variation on that theme. Recently I attended a 3-day intensive. As part of the follow-up, the facilitator requested that we each note down 5 successes (there's that number "5" again) each night before we go to bed. It's interesting for me, because I rarely acknowledge the little gains. This exercise helps me to look at the seemingly ordinary things I do every day that move me forward, and to appreciate that. And gradually I'm learning to appreciate myself.

Mahalo for sharing this Deb; I really like the thought of gratitude as a "muscle to develop" for it does empower you in so many ways.
The exercise you mention is one I have found very useful in my coaching of junior level managers and new supervisors in building their confidence. It helps them see how they do in fact matter, and how they make a difference in a variety of ways much larger than their present sight of them. It also brings them to a realization of how many people they can affect, not just their direct reports, and with a focus on the positive -- the wins. Management is a hard gig, but it is also a very rewarding one.
