Bren and Michael talk about gratitude, being intentional with gratitude, and some great veteran organizations like Wild Warrior Adventures and other peer-based programs. Gratitude helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. It increases happiness and reduces stress, Post Traumatic Stress, and pain management along with many other benefits. Researchers suggest that this may be because gratitude shifts one's attention away from negative emotions to more positive ones. They also talk about the power of box breathing and walk through the steps of how to do box breathing.
