This week, we're talking about Gratitude: being intentional with our time, acting on those feelings of gratefulness, and how gratitude can combat the negative thoughts and feelings within us.

Favorite guest quote:

Practicing gratitude has this really interesting effect wherein it forces us to zoom out. We have to view life from a larger landscape sort of from above; it's like getting a bird's eye view - it forces you to take a really realistic inventory of what you do have, what it is you're hoping to have.

 

A few things we talk about in episode 8: 

• The unexplainable word we use for expressing thankfulness that is gratitude
• Losing and reclaiming sight of gratitude in our lives
• Connecting and drawing ourselves to the things that make us grateful
