60: How to Use Gratitude to Stress Less This Season
Send us a text
The holidays are here… which means your calendar is louder, your responsibilities are heavier, and everything feels more chaotic than usual. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the simplest, most powerful tools you can use to bring the volume down inside your brain and body:
Gratitude.
Sounds fluffy, like something from a Hallmark channel special? Well, trust me, this episode will change the way you think about it. Gratitude isn’t a fluffy self-help idea. It’s a neurological, physiological, and psychological intervention backed by decades of research. It strengthens emotional regulation, boosts resilience, improves sleep, reduces stress, and literally reshapes your brain.
And the best part? You can do it in literally minutes.
In this conversation, I walk you through why gratitude works, what it does in your brain, why your nervous system desperately needs it this time of year, and three simple gratitude practices that fit into even the busiest life.
Let’s make this season calmer, clearer, and more grounded without adding more to your to-do list.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The science behind gratitude and why it’s so powerful for emotional regulation
- How gratitude positively impacts physical health, sleep, and stress levels
- The brain regions activated by gratitude (and why this particularly matters for ADHD brains)
- Three simple gratitude practices you can start today (no journaling required!)
- How to teach gratitude to kids in fun, developmentally appropriate ways
