13. Gratitude Training
⮚Gratitude is acknowledging the good and the bad in your
life and allowing yourself to be happy when someone does
you a favor, when life gives you a break, or when things go
well in ways you didn't expect.
⮚They instantly boost our mood and make us happy from
the inside out. By consciously practicing gratitude every
day, we can help strengthen these neural pathways and
ultimately create within ourselves a habit of lasting
gratitude and positivity that creates our inner strength to
resist stress.
