How Gratitude Changes the Way You See Your Life

Published about 1 month 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.

Reader Have you ever noticed that it’s not the doing that wears you out, it’s the deciding? Deciding what to work on.Deciding what matters most.Deciding what to say yes to…and what to let go of. When you’re already tired, overwhelmed, caregiving, or stretched thin, even simple choices can feel exhausting. And that’s not a personal failing, it’s a sign of decision fatigue. Consider this: You don’t need to push yourself make better or more decisions; you need to make fewer of them, selectively...

Reader Every December seems to come with the same message: Push harder. Finish strong. Get it all done before the year ends. But if you’re feeling stretched thin right now between projects, deadlines, holiday logistics, and the mental load of “wrapping up” the year, you're in good company. This season is a challenge for all of us, but how we approach it can make or break it. But here's the thing: Finishing strong shouldn’t mean finishing exhausted. In fact, research shows the opposite....
