420: Gratitude & Choice: Navigating Despair with Empowering Decisions Meg Rentschler, MSW, PCC


Listen Later

In the face of life’s many ups and downs, how can we leverage gratitude, intention, and choice to face challenges and set our path forward? The reality is that despair and overwhelm can happen because so much of life is completely out of our control. How can we respond with empowering decisions instead of getting caught in the swirl of overwhelm and despair? The answer lies in adopting a mindset shift to embrace an attitude of gratitude, and this is a timely discussion for this week as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US. Join me for a closer look at today’s topic!

Show Highlights:

  • A shift in life can shake us to the core
  • Learning to hold the power of choice and agency when challenges occur
  • The high costs to us (and others around us) when we allow despair and hopelessness to take root
  • Reclaiming our power through choice and gratitude
  • Make a perspective shift by embracing gratitude
  • Choose to be informed in decision-making
  • Nurture relationships and meaningful connections in your life
  • Embrace possibilities and challenge the norms
  • Establish appropriate boundaries and be assertive about them
