In this episode, we explore the question, "What do you get out of love?"  Connection, support, a strong bond, loyalty, and trust are all good answers.  However, there is a deeper philosophy behind the question, and we share this with our listeners. In healthy relationships that are filled with loving commitment, we need to leave pridefulness and self-centeredness outside the walls of our connection to others. Learn how to give and receive love in a more intentional and fulfilling way!

In this episode, we focus on how gratitude can lead us to a happier and healthier state of mind.  We also explore how when we rest, we have more to give to others.  When sitting in a state of rest, our minds can be opened to gratitude which can lead us to show compassion and empathy to others.  Being mindful can help us focus on gratitude when we pause and think about what we do have in our lives instead of focusing on what we don't have.  There are times we stay busy to be distracted from thinking our thinks or feeling our feels.  Taking a moment to be grateful can actually decrease our stress and help us to lower our cortisol level to be healthier.  Don't be afraid to take the time to feel and think about what you are grateful for.
