220: Why We ALL Need to Practice More Gratitude

As Thanksgiving is upon us, I’m filled with gratitude for our Tap the Potential team. They bring their best every day to serve our clients, and they are committed to our mission to help entrepreneurs take their lives back. Our team is impressive, for sure! I’m also grateful for our clients over the years; every single business owner has helped me learn so much on this journey of 17+ years. For today’s show, I want to focus on ways we can all work gratitude into our daily experiences. An intentional gratitude practice can be a way to lift our spirits every single day. When we acknowledge what we are grateful for, we are recognizing that the source of goodness lies, at least partially, outside of ourselves. That sense of connection with something larger than ourselves is beneficial in many ways. According to positive psychology research, gratitude is consistently associated with greater happiness, positive emotions, improved health, more resilience, and better relationships. Don’t we all need more of those things in our lives? Join me for a closer look at the benefits of gratitude!
