Gratitude makes us feel good. Taking the time to express what we are grateful for releases feel-good hormones in the brain, making us feel content and more connected to the people in our lives. But what if gratitude can do MORE than help us feel good in the moment? What if it has the potential to put us on the path to success? To support us in manifesting our vision of the future?
Today on the podcast, Sylvia explores the miracle of gratitude in helping you identify the opportunities and resources necessary to fulfill your dreams. She shares the six ways that gratitude impacts your brain, explaining how deliberate gratitude practices can improve the way you feel. Sylvia also explores the connection between gratitude and future success and describes her ‘walks of gratitude’ ritual of literally counting her blessings.
Finally, Sylvia walks us through the Gratitude Path to Success, outlining the three phases of the process and discussing the value in choosing to be grateful for things that you have resistance to as well as future events yet to be manifested. Listen in for insight on acknowledging your fears and then reaffirming a better result—and learn how to leverage gratitude practices to rewire your brain in a powerful way!
