It definitely takes a conscious effort to thank people on a normal basis, and to recognize the good in them. I surely fall short of this, because small gestures can have the tendency to be overlooked. And our pride can get the best of us where we only see how something is affecting us, rather than attempting to understand the other person's actions. I'm giving myself goals to appreciate and notice the people around me. And even though this might not have been practiced thoroughly in the past, does not mean we can't start now. There is always room for improvement!
There is no specific way of showing gratitude. Make it your own and cater to people's personalities.
I encourage you to find creative ways of appreciating the ones in your life.
