Ep. 41 Thanks (and) Giving as a Way of Life

In this week’s episode of The Unlock Lab, I talk about how we can live our life (and not just certain times of year, or in the wake of major events) in the energy of gratitude and service. This is about practicing a healthy perspective on life, building habits that keep you steady, and spreading love through even the smallest acts of kindness. Whether it’s handling tough times (election, COVID, etc.) or learning to roll with what life throws at you, this episode is about acknowledging what is, while also choosing hope and abundance. Highlights: Gratitude is a practice for the good times too. Simple acts of giving, like sending a kind text or offering empathy, can create meaningful connections and shift your focus from stress to purpose. Acceptance of people and situations, paired with healthy boundaries, allows for more peace and balance. Quotables: [00:03:59] "In times like these, when things feel like they're on the downward spiral, we gotta take a step back and of course, process our feelings, process our emotions." [00:15:05] "Inner critics can come in and make us feel bad about our life, about our situations. This is where going back to the truth of what is present in your life, of what you are appreciative of, what you are thankful for, can be really helpful in not letting that those inner critics run the roost this week, or this month, or this season for that matter." [00:27:55] "We can be hopeful for a future that we're not sure how we're gonna get there. And we can also set an intention for ourselves and our actions and our thought patterns that will help us make that manifest."
