Ep 69 Being Grateful (2023)

Hello everyone, and welcome back to "Thriving with Sarah and Jenny." In today's episode, as the year winds down and we find ourselves caught up in the hustle and bustle, we take a moment to reflect on the power of gratitude. While acknowledging the challenges of 2023, including personal losses and global stresses, we explore the importance of gratitude, especially during tough times.

Jenny and I discuss how many people are feeling the weight of the year, and how transforming our mindset to focus on gratitude can help alleviate some of that burden. We introduce the concept of the "Wall of Wow," encouraging listeners to visually or mentally reflect on their year's positive moments.

We delve into the quality of gratitude, discussing how moving beyond habitual thanks to a deeper, more intentional appreciation can profoundly affect our well-being. We share stories of kindness and connection, illustrating how gratitude isn't just beneficial for the individual but can ripple out, affecting those around us and strengthening social ties.

As the episode wraps up, we express our heartfelt thanks to our guests, listeners, and each other. We invite you to join us in embracing gratitude, not just as a year-end practice but as a continual approach to life, making us all the more resilient and ready for what the future holds.
