Incorporating a daily gratitude practice, such as verbally expressing thankfulness for specific aspects of life, can enhance emotional well-being. Despite initial skepticism, engaging in this ritual can create a positive shift in mindset and prepare individuals to face the day with a more optimistic outlook. Studies support this practice, showing that reflecting on things to be grateful for can lead to improved mental health and resilience.
We're bringing you an episode of Immigrantly, where Laurie joined host Saadia Khan to discuss the psychology of happiness education and the expansive realm of happiness. Is happiness a fleeting moment or a sustained state of being? Can it be actively cultivated, or is it an innate aspect of human existence? How do our backgrounds, personalities, and choices influence our perceptions of happiness? Laurie and Saadia openly discuss cultural considerations when exploring happiness, the difference between contentment and happiness, Gen Z’s perception of happiness, and how to achieve zen mode.
