You might be surprised by the many life changing benefits that come from having a regular gratitude practice. It's free, only takes a few minutes a day and with Thanksgiving  just around the corner, it's the perfect time to start your own gratitude practice. I'll tell you how you can practice gratitude and share what research says it can do for you. If you would like to live a happier, healthier life than this episode is for you.

Drawing from my personal experiences as well as research from UCLA Health, we delve into the benefits of a regular gratitude practice. Find out how it lessens symptoms of depression and anxiety, promotes heart health, and even improves sleep quality.

I will share my experience of having a gratitude practice since the late 1990's and how it has positively impacted my life. We will also explore practical ways to cultivate gratitude daily.

Cozy up with a hot beverage, as we kick off the holiday season with a heartwarming conversation on gratitude.
