i recently returned to work from parental leave after adding a healthy and happy baby to our now family of four. my parental leave included a multitude of experiences, ranging from the tranquility of morning stroller walks to the inevitable sleepless nights, and from supporting our toddler in adapting to the arrival of the new baby to the constant rhythm of diaper changes. this period also included the adventure of a 6-state road trip, bringing forth a spectrum of emotions including joy, love, frustration, overwhelm, and sheer exhaustion. as my family and i enter this new phase of our lives, we are navigating unfamiliar, and at times, choppy waters. amidst the shifts, trials, and uncertainties that accompany change, i have consistently sought solace and steadiness in a mindset grounded in gratitude. in order to ensure that thankfulness has staying power, regardless of what life has in store, consider applying one of these three strategies to lead and live with a gratitude mindset.
