STOP SAYING THANK YOU.
Yes. Remove that word from your vocabulary, it is actually as worthless as the word actually.
Gratitude is an act that is meant to show appreciation. When done correctly, it will leave a person with something to smile about for the rest of their day. However, “thank you” simply doesn’t do that.
what does have that impact is specific gratitude.

It’s simple and it makes life more pleasant.
