How to Use a Gratitude Practice in a Stressful Life
Text your thoughts and questions!
Life is stressful. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either selling something or living on an island somewhere. But just because a stressful life is the reality for many of us, doesn’t mean that life’s not good too. It can absolutely be both. Identifying the good part is a key element of practicing gratitude. This week, episode 237 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about how to use a gratitude practice in a stressful life.
In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I’m sharing how a regular gratitude practice can shift our perspective, improve resilience, and reduce stress and I give you actionable steps to take right now to design a gratitude practice in a way that works best for you.
I cover the following topics:
- A review of stress—how it can be helpful and harmful.
- Using gratitude to choose the direction of our thoughts, focusing on the positive.
- Actionable ways to practice gratitude for stress management and a few methods to try for yourself.
- Sample questions to use as a prompt when you’re getting started.
I encourage you to embrace the power of gratitude and use it as a guiding light to navigate the stresses of life, empowering yourself to live with more positivity, resilience, and joy.
