Description:

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, today we’re talking about the benefits of gratitude.

We talk about why gratitude matters to Body Kindness, and how to be grateful even when it’s hard.

Here's what we talked about:

  • What is gratitude? Bernie and Rebecca discuss their definitions and why a gratitude practice is an important key for unlocking health and happiness
  • Rebecca shares how gratitude can boost your positive emotions, which can help you stick to goals and build new habits
  • Bernie shares examples of how gratitude helped him when he went to a job he hated every day
  • Bernie and Rebecca shared stories of loss and how gratitude could be helpful in coping with tragedy by helping you find "goodness" and meaning in your life again.
  • Rebecca summarised that gratitude is really about building and strengthening relationships and your connections to other people. This has a massive impact on your choices and self talk and you’re more likely to appreciate the gifts and blessings you already have.
  • There’s also a growth impact that motivates you to create even more good in the world - the Pay It Forward effect and what famed sociologist Georg Simmel calls “the moral memory of mankind.” http://bit.ly/2fVwvkk
