Episode 116 - 5 Simple Practices to Make Gratitude a Daily Habit
Manage episode 520996128 series 3660866
We share five simple practices that help gratitude shift from a to-do item into a felt way of seeing your life. We also talk about discomfort with joy, how to avoid bypassing pain, and why small rituals change the tone of a day.
• pairing a daily touchstone with a brief, felt pause of appreciation
• ending the day with the last good moment to balance negativity bias
• finding real silver linings without minimizing pain
• building a gratitude chain from one small joy back through every hand and force that made it possible
• planning joy on purpose and feeling it as it happens
• moving from forced lists to embodied gratitude as a trait
• working with foreboding joy and old programming with compassion
• simple, repeatable tools that fit into busy mornings and late nights
Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate. I’ll be back on December 1st.
