340. The Power of Gratitude: How to Change the Way You Experience Your Life
Join the Deciding Hour Priority Waitlist HERE!
November is one of my favorite months of the year, and it's not just because of Thanksgiving. It's because November gives us an opportunity to be more intentional about expressing gratitude—not just for one day, but throughout the entire month.
A few years ago, I challenged myself to write 31 thank-you notes to people in my life. What surprised me wasn't just how meaningful the experience was for me, but the impact those notes had on the people receiving them. Some of the people who make the biggest difference in our lives aren't necessarily the ones we see or interact with every day. Sometimes we have to slow down and look a little closer to recognize them.
But gratitude has another powerful benefit: it changes the way you see and experience your life. In this episode, I'm sharing two challenges to help you make November more meaningful, express appreciation to the people around you, and discover how shifting your focus can shift your entire experience.
In this episode, you'll learn:
-
Why gratitude shouldn't be reserved for Thanksgiving or special occasions.
-
How expressing gratitude can create a ripple effect that multiplies.
-
Why recognizing the people on the periphery of your life can be so meaningful.
-
How gratitude can create a state change and shift your experience of difficult or frustrating circumstances.
-
Why what you choose to focus on makes a difference in how you experience your life.
-
Two challenges to help you practice gratitude throughout November.
Your November challenges:
-
Write and send 31 thank-you notes to people you're grateful to have in your life. (This is just one a day!)
-
Challenge yourself to find something to be grateful for in experiences you might otherwise label as "no thanks."
You don't have to wait for Thanksgiving to express gratitude. You can choose to experience November differently, starting today.
