How Gratitude Changes Us: Happy Thanksgiving Edition
In the theme of Thanksgiving this week, today I'm sharing my thoughts on gratitude. I dig into the physical, mental and psychological benefits of gratitude, why we don't want to practice it when we're feeling overwhelmed and why sometimes it's better if we don't. I talk about how we often use gratitude as a short-term solution and what we can do if that isn't working for us.
