Appreciation Is More Powerful Than Gratitude (Here’s Why)

Listen Later

What if gratitude isn’t the highest state available to you?

In this live talk recorded inside the Inner Light Collective, Brenda Winkle explores the subtle but powerful difference between gratitude and appreciation — and why appreciation creates faster emotional shifts for high-capacity leaders.

You’ll learn:

  • Why high achievers try to “jump the emotional staircase”
  • The science behind emotional vibrational states
  • How appreciation widens your field instantly
  • Why nervous system narrowing blocks abundance
  • A practical practice you can implement today (with alarms!)

    • In this powerful live talk recorded inside The Inner Light Collective’s Luminary group, this conversation blends nervous system science, emotional regulation, and energetic leadership. This is one of the most foundational tools I teach my private clients and members:

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Why abundance is about widening your field, not forcing outcomes
    • What happens when your nervous system narrows your vision
    • The real reason high achievers struggle to “just feel better”
    • How to move up the emotional scale one band at a time
    • Why appreciation works faster than gratitude
    • How scaffolding (alarms, reminders, rituals) supports identity shifts
    • What it means to be the CEO of your energy

      • This conversation is especially powerful if:

      • You’re in an identity shift
      • You feel activated, pressured, or narrow in your thinking
      • You’re building something meaningful and don’t want to lose yourself
      • You want steady leadership instead of performance pressure

        • If this resonates, come join us inside The Spiritual CEO — a grounded space for empaths, creatives, and visionary leaders who are building real things without abandoning themselves. https://www.skool.com/thespiritualceo/about
