In this Thanksgiving episode of EnneagramU, hosts Damon and Kelly explore the topic of gratitude through the lens of the Enneagram. They discuss what each Enneagram type brings to the world that we can be grateful for, as well as how a lack of gratitude might manifest negatively for each type. The hosts offer practical suggestions for how each Enneagram type can cultivate more gratitude in their lives and relationships. Damon and Kelly also share personal reflections on what they're grateful for and emphasize the importance of expressing appreciation to others.

• Gratitude is important for emotional health and can help bridge the gap between unhealthy and healthy behaviors for all Enneagram types.

• Each Enneagram type has unique ways they can practice gratitude, such as ones focusing on both positives and negatives, twos appreciating themselves, threes valuing what they have, etc.

• Lack of gratitude can lead to unhealthy behaviors for each type, like ones becoming overly critical or sevens overindulging.

• Expressing gratitude to others, even in small ways like a quick email, can be meaningful and strengthen relationships.

• Damon and Kelly are grateful for their listeners!
