And gratitude has been shown to elicit more support from other people that your experience of gratitude

makes you more willing to ask for help when you need it.

Gratitude builds trust.

It enhances your social relationships.

So that's why I really encourage people, if you're going to do gratitude practice, don't think about trying to make yourself happy by thinking about things that you're grateful for.

Think about truly instilling a mindset of interdependence, of recognizing

that there are people in your life who you can rely on.

You start with what's true.

And then people in your life who support you in ways that they might not even know they're supporting you.

And here's the great thing is this is where you get to when this is a mindset you really understand.

As you come to understand the same is true for you too.

And then it becomes easier to receive gratitude from others.

It becomes easier to recognize the value that you bring to different situations.

And that comes, you know, fullbacks when we were talking about depression, that opening to feeling gratitude for others is also a way of opening to receiving gratitude and compassion from others.

And that's really hard for a lot of people.

You know, I love that you frame it that way.

So I've had to work on this myself.

Receiving sincere gratitude or receiving the kindness of others, receiving true sympathy or empathy, it's a moment of intense intimacy and

and vulnerability where people are seeing you.

And sometimes what's really vulnerable about that is they're seeing that you care and that you tried.
