If you're insecure about where you're at, if you're envious about where you're at, if you're jealous, judgmental of where you're at, that's what you're going to be like when you're at the top of the mountain or when you're at the bottom of the mountain. So the way I'd say to be grateful is not a journal. Don't write about it. You have to share it.

If you want gratitude to work, it has to be three things. Expressed. specific and personal. So if I'm going to be grateful to you, Emma, like you were kindly to me at the start of this, you expressed it. You said, Jay, I love coming on your show. You were specific. You were like, Jay, when I came on your show, I got to talk about things that I don't really talk about. And you were personal.

You said, you made me feel really comfortable. You did all of those three things. If you think about most gratitude, it's generic. I'm grateful for life. I'm grateful for the air. I'm grateful for the cloud. And you'll be grateful in your journal. You never share it. It's just writing it down. That doesn't work.

Studies show that if you share gratitude, if you express it, it's specific and it's personal, you can't be worried or anxious at the same time. It's not possible.

Absolutely. And it changes everything because you just said, and I'd say that to people, for the next seven days, do what Emma does. Send one person personally and one person professionally a text, an email, a voice message, a video message. It doesn't have to be long, 30 seconds and share gratitude that's specific and personal. It will change your relationships. It will change how you feel.

So the second habit is something I called insight. I think about humans really interestingly. If you're hungry, you go to your refrigerator or Uber Eats or whatever it is, and you find food. If you're out of milk, you buy milk. But when we're out of inspiration... we panic. If we're out of motivation, we panic. If we're out of energy, we panic.

It's like, oh my God, there must be something wrong with me. There's something like that's not working for me. I think it's really important that we learn something every day. The problem is we stop studying the moment we leave school. And we need to learn one insight per day. It could be the tiniest thing someone says to you.

It could be listening to your podcast right now and you'll take away one insight. It could be learning a new word. It could be anything. Just learning one tiny thing a day changes the brain. It makes you feel like you're moving. You don't feel stuck anymore because you have a new piece of insight. You have a new experience that you can share with someone else.
