Gratitude Is Our Superpower: Utilizing the Benefits of Gratitude Practice to Level Up Your Finances and Your Wellbeing

Imagine your life with:

• Reduced depression/depressive symptoms
• Less anxiety, less negative thought patterns
• Improved heart health
• Less stress
• Better sleep

Would you take it? I know I would. These are the evidence-based benefits of gratitude practice.

But...what do all these have to do with money? Remember, a healthier physiology, less stress, and more rest help us regulate our nervous systems, which helps us naturally spend less, appreciate what we have more, etc.

So, will developing a consistent gratitude practice change what's in your bank account? No, not directly. But a consistent gratitude practice changes how you see yourself, the world, and your resources--all powerful catalysts for reaching financial goals.

In this episode, I also share practical examples of how to cultivate gratitude in your life (including my personal practice) and set you up to do a 30-day gratitude experiment to see how it works in your life.

If you'd like to run the 30-day gratitude experiment, rate the statements below on a scale of 1 to 10--1 being "Not true at all" and 10 being "Totally true"--at the start of your experiment on Day 1 at the end of the 30th day.

• I have more positive thoughts than negative thoughts.
• I am content and satisfied with what I have in life.
• I feel more instances of calm in my life than I do stress and anxiety
• I get good sleep and I feel rested
• While there are challenges in life, I feel grateful for the life I live

Part Public Service Announcement, and part "love letter" to gratitude practice itself, give this episode a lesson to develop or enhance a an accessible and power practice to boost and sustain your wellbeing.
