Itās easy to get caught up in ānot enough.ā
Not having enough money or the perfect job or the body you want.
Experiencing scarcity and lack is easy in a world where it seems like everyone has it āmore togetherā than you do.
Unfortunately, putting ourselves in that negative mindset only perpetuates the scarcity.
Over the last few decades, itās actually been proven through research studies that living in a state of gratitude changes us on a neurological level.
Gratitude makes us happier, and when we are happier, we:
āāļø Have more impactful relationshipsĀ
Ā Are perceived as a kinder, more compassionate, empathetic person
š¤¢ Experience less symptoms of physical pain and illness
Ā Just feel better and stave off symptoms of depression, insomnia, and anxiety that have become so common
The truth is that the more you practice gratitude the healthier and happier youāll be ā because your brain is actually changing due to the gratitude.
One of the easiest ways to maintain a state of gratitude is to start or end each day by jotting down 3 things youāre grateful for in a journal. Allow yourself to visualize and experience the emotion of those things in your life.
Come back to that journal when you feel fear, doubt, and scarcity creeping in and remind yourself how much you truly have to be grateful for.
