Hello & welcome back!Well, we’ve all heard many times about the power and impact of practicing gratitude, BUT is it really all it’s made out to be?Can it really make the huge difference that so many people tell you it can?I have to say, that in my experience the answer is a resounding ‘yes’ and ‘yes’ and I share my experience, explain why and show you how on this weeks episode.Some of the key things you'll learn in this episode:There is such simple magic in putting pen to paper and jotting daily in a journal about what you’re grateful for - and 5 mins a day is all you need.The science is clear – there are so many benefits from being grateful.Expressing gratitude regularly is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness, improved health, better relationships and resilience thru adversity.There is always something to be grateful for and as with everything, the more you practise being grateful, the more genuinely grateful you become.Practicing gratitude journaling doesn’t mean you have pretend you’re constantly happy or have a 24/7 smile. It’s not about any sort of false positivity.It's normal for people to have a bias towards ruminating on what’s not going right in life – that’s how our brains are wired sadly - but gratitude journaling is your place and time to push that aside.Consistency is key, and to help with consistency it helps to use a journal you love – and to set a daily evening routine. Keep your gratitude journal by your bed for example and turn to it when you jump into bed.So let your gratitude journal be your daily companion and guide to cultivating a grateful mindset. Just follow along and enjoy the ride and all of the benefits that will come your way.And remember, it’s great to hear insights like the ones I’ve shared with you here, but the important thing is to move from inspiration to action - and to put your insights into practice to help transform your experience of life.So, take time to reflect on what resonates with you in this episode - and decide what actions you'll take as a result.I really urge you to try gratitude journaling for a month and see how it feels.As a very special offer to my Dream Life podcast listeners around the world, I’m giving you a promo code that you can use to take A$5 off when you buy yourself one of our new Dream Life Gratitude journals from The Dream Life Store.
