Why Be Thankful If Your Life Sucks? | Dr. Zoe Shaw

If you’re already feeling low a part of you probably feels a little resentful towards the idea of finding something to be thankful for. However, since you’re reading this and possibly going to listen to this episode, I believe there is another part of that wants to feel hope.

I don’t know your life, but I do know what it’s like to feel like the world keeps on going after you’ve been kicked off the merry-go-round. So, while I may not understand your pain, I do understand pain. I also understand how gratitude can play a part in moving past pain.

In this episode, you’ll hear the biological reason gratitude can be difficult for us, the importance of recognizing that gratitude is a choice, how there is an opportunity to be grateful for something in every moment, how practicing gratitude will improve your overall mindset, mood, and energy, examples of how you can start practicing gratitude right now even if you think you don’t have anything to be thankful for, and so much more.
