GRATITUDE SALAD

Do you ever just catch yourself feeling a little extra cranky, nitpicky, or just sort of over it… even though nothing is technically wrong? Yeah, me too. 🙋🏼‍♀️ It occurred to me the other day (as I was falling asleep) that maybe I could use a little "attitude adjustment". 😳 And I'm pretty sure that that’s exactly what sparked this week’s episode of The Karen Kenney Show where I share a simple practice that came to me in the middle of the night: The little "librarians" in my head call this sucker a “​Gratitude ​Salad.” 🥗 😆 OK, so instead of doing the same ol​' same ol' and just kinda' going-through-the-motions gratitude list... I​'m gonna' walk you through how to build a more alive and specific practice by adding different “ingredients” like: - A person you’re grateful for (and why – with details) - An animal – past or present – that lights up your heart - A place​ that holds a special memory or turning point for you - A thing that carries real meaning or has brought comfort in your life - A feeling you love to experience and want to welcome in more In this episode, I also talk about: - Why our brains are wired with a negativity bias and how to gently interrupt it when it starts working overtime! - How a fresh take on gratitude can help when you’re feeling fried, discouraged, or overwhelmed by our crazy-ass world - A sweet story about Stephen Colbert and laugh lines that has stayed with me - Simple ways to actually feel the gratitude in your body ​- ​instead of just think​ing about it in your head If you’ve been feeling a little whin​y, worn thin, or just not yourself lately, I made this one with you (and me) in mind. ❤️ KAREN KENNEY BIO: Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, podcaster, certified spiritual mentor, and coach.
