Life On the Brink

Practicing Gratitude (plus a huge life update)


Listen Later

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 74 of Life on the Brink!

Here in the U.S. we’re entering into the week of Thanksgiving, a day set aside to be grateful for those around us and, let’s be real, eat a delicious meal. This season has made me think, though, about the act of being grateful, the practice of gratitude itself. I’ve heard of “gratitude journals” and whatnot, but I became curious about what the act of “thanksgiving” actually does in your mind and body.

With that, I hit the books. I’ve done some research into gratitude and some very interesting findings. Not surprisingly, it’s actually incredibly beneficial and can help reframe our whole perspective!

In this episode I'm sharing:
-what practicing gratitude looks like
-scientific studies on gratitude's affect on mental health
-why gratitude makes an impact
-the power of your own perspective
-simple ways to embrace gratitude this season

Plus, Our Little Joys for the week are sweet and exciting. I'm sharing one autumnal recipe and one BIG life update.
