The Mel Robbins Podcast
Cultivating Self-Compassion and Gratitude for Stress Reduction
Gratitude practice is vital to silence the inner critic and reset stress levels. By focusing on what you are grateful for and why, you rewire your brain through cognitive reframing. Gratitude helps shift your perspective from negative to positive experiences, reducing the stickiness of negativity in your brain. Studies show improved mood, decreased stress, and better sleep with regular gratitude practice. Additionally, cultivating self-compassion decreases the amygdala and cortisol levels, promoting resilience in challenging times. Embracing self-compassion and gratitude can act as a protective 'raincoat' in the storm of life, allowing you to navigate challenges with grace and strength.
