Gratitude lessons (that don't suck)

No one likes people who complain and yet it is so hard to stop complaining about problems in our life. Gratitude is sold as the answer to all our happiness woes. Stop having expectations, be happy and grateful for what you have, and never let another day go to waste. It's so simple and yet it doesn't work because it isn't that easy. This episode covers the most powerful strategy that has helped people find gratitude in many areas they didn't feel possible without meditating, journaling or re-aligning their chakras. Just some simple psychology and reframing the information in their heads to make them see what they already know. - - - Connect with Sam: Sam's newsletter on creativity - Explosive Thinking  Watch the pod - YouTube - Growth Mindset Twitter - @samjamharris Instagram - @SamJam.zen - - - Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the flaw with gratitude 00:35 Standard tips on how to build gratitude 00:54 Issues with gratitude - focusing on problems 01:38 Example - Lawn being ruined 02:18 Example - Arctic trip 02:57 Example - Frustrating emails 04:16 Recurring theme - great achievements will come with problems 06:14 Planning ahead 08:00 Example - Social influencer trolls 08:53 Example - Romantic partner problems 09:37 Recap - Notice to see the positive side of things 11:35 Next week's episode - Problems you don't want to have 11:42 Outro Learn more about your ad choices.
