Episode 3533:

Feeling overwhelmed by negativity at work or in life? Shifting to a gratitude mindset can transform your well-being, boost resilience, and even strengthen relationships. Dr. Jenny Brockis explains how expressing gratitude, whether through journaling, acknowledging others, or simply saying "thank you,” activates brain regions linked to happiness and generosity, creating a ripple effect of positivity in your life and those around you.

Quotes to ponder:

"Gratitude rewards generosity and maintains the cycle of healthy social behaviour."

"When we feel down and grey we forget that the sky is still blue above those grey clouds, even though we can’t see it."

"Saying thanks gets easier with practice so a great way to start is to look for the opportunity."
