#54 The Science of Gratitude and How to Get Started When You Are Struggling

Gratitude practice sounds great, and everyone talks about the benefits of gratitude, but it feels so foreign because you are just trying to get through day and all you can see is the negativity happening around you. This is exactly how I felt several years ago when my life was pure chaos and I didn't even know where to begin in changing my mindset and perspective. That is why I wanted to share this episode with you. If you are sick of feeling consumed by negativity and every bad possible outcome replaying in your head like a broken record, this episode is for you. I share a personal story of how I went from struggling to feel present and just trying to keep my head above water to living life through a different lens where I see so much more beauty than I ever have. I also share the science and physiology being grateful because it's not about just going through the motions of it. It is about giving it meaning so your brain is more receptive to integrating it into your life.
