This episode is all about gratitude. Why it works, and how to practice it.
I always tell the story about how my mom gave me a gratitude journal a long time ago when I was going through a hard time. The journal had a space to write down five things I was grateful for each day.
At the time, I rolled my eyes and thought there was no way that simply writing down a few things I was thankful for would help me feel better. I did it, albeit half-assed, now and again when I was feeling down, wishing things were better.
I didn't really notice a difference because I didn't stick with it.
When I was going through my divorce, I turned to gratitude out of desperation. I started to focus my attention on the good I could find in my life, and sometimes it was hard to find even one thing. I always had my kids, so I always had one thing, but sometimes the other two things were hard for me to find. But I kept at it. And one day, I thought about it and realized that my default mindset was really one of gratitude. It WORKED!
Today, I credit my happiness in part to gratitude. Listen to this episode to learn some ways to practice gratitude and why it works.
