Cultivating an attitude of gratitude. (Self-care Saturday)

Livin' The Dream

Today we are going to discuss two people’s view on gratitude that I really appreciated this week. Author Michael Easter who wrote the comfort crisis and Scarcity brain. And Jim Kwik, memory and learning expert. I found the way they think about gratitude very interesting and helpful.

Gratitude is essential for wellbeing, but the science and advice around it is murky. We’ll explore what really makes people grateful.

Today, we’re looking at gratitude. It’s linked to happiness, life satisfaction, and less anxiety and depression. It may even improve physical health.

But the science of gratitude is surprisingly murky—and some of the current recommendations to improve gratitude may be a waste of time.

Let’s analyze the science and come to some conclusions about how to actually be more grateful.

Today we will cover how:

• Gratitude requires recognizing and appreciating the role of luck and freebies in life, but it’s not our default setting. Also, how
• Gratitude comes from experience. Sacrifice, service, and the ability to “go without” seem to improve gratitude most. This idea is backed by modern neuroscience, ancient wisdom, and everyday experience.
