Why Appreciation Matters
To give and receive appreciation is an act of love. It calls us to see and celebrate the goodness in others — and in ourselves.

When we shift our focus from what is not working to what is good, valuable and precious, we create the conditions for ourselves and those around us to flourish.

What is Appreciation
Appreciation is a transformative gift. It happens when we notice and acknowledge someone’s unique qualities that make a positive difference.

Developing Appreciation
Neuroscience research shows that we grow and learn most when we focus on our strengths and their qualities, and when we feel valued, worthy, and seen by others.

Appreciation is not a habit that comes naturally — it takes practice and confidence to give appreciation freely and consistently.
