    Season 6, Day 2: Let Your Gentleness Be Known — Philippians 4:5 and Turning Your Groans into Gratitude   In Season 6, Day 2 of Rewire Your Brain: The Peace & Positivity Podcast, host Liz Bagwell continues the Philippians 4 series with verse 5: "Let your reasonableness be known to everyone" — often translated as gentleness. Using Hebb's Law and today's gratitude and prayer prompts, Liz walks through Micro and Macro Gratitude, a vulnerable Groan-to-Gratitude example about living with scoliosis, and a guided Meditation with Jesus through Philippians 4:4-9.
