What is the Create Appreciation skill?

  • On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. - Psalm 63:6

  • The Create Appreciation skill (aka Skill 4) focuses on remembering positive memories, relationships, and gifts from God in such a way that our brain responds as if we are reliving the moments all over again.

  • Learn more about Skill 4: www.thrivetoday.org/skill4

  • Why do we need this skill?
    ➤ Learning to create appreciation rewires our brain to look for and expect the good things in life.
    ➤ This skill helps us activate joy from the past and bring it into the present moment, making joy accessible anytime, anywhere. This is why we often refer to appreciation as “packaged joy”!
    ➤ High levels of the emotional state of appreciation closely match the healthy, balanced state of the brain and nervous system. Therefore, creating a strong feeling of appreciation in yourself and others relieves stress and unpleasant emotional states.
