Podcast 74: Practicing Gratitude (plus a huge life update)

Hello hello, welcome to Episode 74 of Life on the Brink!<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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!<br/><br/>In this episode I'm sharing:<br/>-what practicing gratitude looks like<br/>-scientific studies on gratitude's affect on mental health<br/>-why gratitude makes an impact<br/>-the power of your own perspective<br/>-simple ways to embrace gratitude this season<br/><br/>Plus, Our Little Joys for the week are sweet and exciting. I'm sharing one autumnal recipe and one BIG life update.<br/><br/>For the complete show notes, click here!<br/>For full transcript, click here!<br/><br/><br/>Site: lifeonthebrink.live<br/>Social: @anna_on_the_keys
