beinggrateful

In this week leading up to the US Thanksgiving holiday, we offer some tips to teach, model, and nurture the virtue of gratitude. What does it mean to be grateful and is it different from toxic positivity? Besides its many health benefits, practicing gratitude can make us more aware, present, content, and focused. Besides teaching the basic "thank you" response, what else can we do to make gratitude a part of our kids' lives?

In this podcast, founder of Soul Manifesto, spiritual curator and bestselling author Alena Chapman explains why giving gratitude is so important for all of us. She explains why giving gratitude is not just saying thank you but also about connecting to a power greater than yourself. There are three positive impacts of having gratitude in your life. Listen now to learn how giving gratitude can be life-altering, and how it can guide you to a happier, more tranquil place in your life.

⭐️Highlights⭐️

⭐️ Giving gratitude is a ritual that helps bring positivity into life.

⭐️ Gratitude does three things: it raises your vibration, it helps you see the goodness in your life, and it adds to the sum of happiness in life.

⭐️ Gratitude creates little oases of happiness throughout your day – gratitude will not let you settle for being unhappy.

⭐️ Giving gratitude changes you and keeps you going through the day. Gratitude is something you can revisit throughout the day.

⭐️ Start your day with gratitude. Overcome obstacles and find solutions to the problems you encounter.

Alena shares her personal experiences discovering the power of gratitude. She speaks of battling a difficult situation where the consequences may have been quite serious for her. She appealed to her mentor Bob Proctor for help. This was the time when she was reminded to give gratitude. While giving gratitude can seem difficult and contrary at a time when things seem to be going wrong, Alena explains why this is the precise time we must give gratitude. Listen now to understand how gratitude is the way to attract positivity and happiness into your life. Learn how Alena finds reasons to be grateful, and learn how to create gratitude rituals that will be of help to you.
