Why can’t we ever find gratitude in the midst of s*** hitting the fan? Why does it always have to be weeks, months or years later before we can realize, “oh yeah...that thing that I thought was awful...it was actually great for me and I’m glad that it happened.”

Retrospectively finding the gratitude and the growth is a great practice, and one I think we’ll continue to do. I also think there’s tremendous opportunity to set some things in place to support us in real-time gratitude when stuff goes awry.

So in this episode, I’m sharing a quick list of things that can help you in those moments. I’m calling them the 3 P’s (super innovative I know! haha). So not just what they are, but specific examples of things within each of those areas.

Can you think of a situation where you could’ve lost all your marbles, but instead were able to navigate yourself through it - like Neo in The Matrix dodging bullets? What did you do, and what helps you stay grateful despite life’s challenges?
