We tend to focus more on the obstacles and difficulties of life because they are right there, on our face, screaming… demanding our attention. And because all our challenges require so much effort, we forget to reflect on all the really good things. However, inside every struggle, there are opportunities to be grateful, if we take the time to change our focus.
A regular gratitude practice really does enhance your life and make you more resilient. In addition, gratitude can enhance satisfaction with life, improve physical and mental health, reduce symptoms of burnout, decrease stress hormones, and have a positive effect on inflammation and cardiac disease.
Listen to today's episode to learn why gratitude is another tool that will help you become more resilient--and learn how to incorporate gratitude into your day.
