- Happy Thanksgiving, folks!
- This week we’re going to do something a little different and, instead of an interview, I’m doing a solo episode. We’ll be back with another inspiring interview next week.
- I wanted to take this week, because of Thanksgiving, and talk about how a gratitude practice is the easiest way to change your life. That might sound like hyperbole or exaggeration but it’s not.
- Now before you roll your eyes and think I’m trying to sell you some woo-woo magic, there are decades of scientific studies that show how a simple gratitude practice can:
- Create stronger relationships
- Strengthen your immune system
- Increase your enthusiasm, optimism, and alertness
- etc, etc, etc.
- Why does gratitude work so well? Glad you asked.
- It fundamentally changes your perspective. You can see the silver lining in most situations which helps you bounce back after setbacks much faster.
- It is impossible to feel anger/fear and gratitude at the same time.
- It helps you enjoy the journey and not just look forward to the destination.
- It makes you a more pleasant person and creates stronger relationships.
- So if you want to change your life in 5 minutes every day, take a listen!
