Ep #9: The Power of Gratitude

As you probably know by now, I believe that good habits are the foundational work to creating a more successful, happy, healthy life. But the truth is that bad habits are simply easier. Watching TV is easier than exercising, and eating fries takes less effort than chopping up vegetables. But this work doesn’t stop at just physical habits. It’s all about mental hygiene too.

Your brain is a tricky beast and it’s our default setting to take the path of least resistance. It loves familiarity, even when what’s familiar is uncomfortable. And one of the worst habits we can develop is letting our negative thoughts run the show. So, in this episode, I’m giving you the new daily habit of practicing gratitude, so you can catch yourself before you end up spinning in negativity.

Tune in this week to discover the power of gratitude. I’m sharing how see what’s going on in your brain when you go down the rabbit hole of believing everything is going wrong, and how to meet your negative thoughts with gratitude instead. I know, it sounds counterintuitive. But stay with me here because this is a vital part of how I manage my own overthinking brain.
