How Gratitude Changes the Way You See Your Life

Published 1 day ago • 2 min read

Reader

Have you ever noticed how gratitude phrases about being grateful are everywhere from coffee mugs, to Instagram posts, and especially for November décor? You can't turn around in a TJMaxx without seeing a "grateful thankful blessed" sign! And while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, I wonder if that makes the concept so familiar we forget how powerful it really is.

Gratitude isn’t just a feel-good sentiment. It’s a scientifically proven habit that rewires your brain for joy. When you practice gratitude intentionally, you strengthen the neural pathways that help you notice what’s working and build sustainable happiness.

If you want to feel calmer, happier, and more fulfilled right where you are, consider these ideas:

  1. Savor – Pause long enough to actually feel appreciation. Let a small moment linger.
  2. Specify – Go deeper than “I’m grateful for my family.” Ask why. The emotional impact grows when you get specific.
  3. Share – Express gratitude out loud or in writing. When you share it, you reinforce it in yourself.

These simple shifts transform gratitude from a checklist item into a mindset with the result is real, lasting happiness.

If this resonates with you, I have two ways to keep the momentum going:

>> Listen to the podcast here​
>> Read the blog post here​

You may also want to explore the Positively Grateful Series Bundle, a pay-as-you-will collection with guided reflections and journaling prompts to help you bring more appreciation into your every day. For as little as $5, you'll receive a variety of resources to help you practice gratitude in a realistic, effective way.

And since gratitude is the topic of the day, I want to take a moment to remind you how grateful I am that you are here with me. Helping you is what I love to do and I appreciate your trust in me.

Hi Reader Have you ever thought, “I just want to be happy”?We’ve all said it at some point (or thought it at least) especially in seasons when stress feels relentless. But what does happiness really mean? How do we find happiness when life feels anything but light? That’s the heart of this week’s episode of the Positively Living® Podcast, where I revisit an earlier and incredibly meaningful conversation with happiness coach and author Julie Leonard. When we first spoke, the world was still...

Hi Reader Ever hit that point where you just can’t keep up anymore, no matter how organized you try to be? Maybe you’ve got the planners, the color-coding, and the apps all set, but it's still too much. The math just isn’t mathing. You’re exhausted, overextended, and wondering what changed. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Most of us start out being able to “do it all.” We have the energy, the drive, and maybe even the validation that comes from handling so much. Plus we’re taught,...
