Gratitude

Keith and Laura dig into and explore the practice of gratitude and its impact on both mental and physical well-being. They discuss practical and simple ways to incorporate gratitude into daily life, distinguishing between happiness and joy, and sharing accessible tools for developing a gratitude practice.
Keith introduced the "Five Minute Journal" practice and the importance of keeping gratitude simple and accessible. Laura shared the A-Z gratitude exercise from a podcast as a structured approach to creating joy.
The practice of gratitude can transform not only our own perspective but create joy that extends to others. Take 2-5 minutes today to try the Five Minute Journal, create a gratitude A-Z list, or send a heartfelt message of thanks to someone.
Key Takeaways
1. Gratitude practice doesn't need to be complicated or time-consuming
2. There's a meaningful distinction between happiness (internal) and joy (external)
3. Regular gratitude practice can improve both mental and physical health
4. Simple acts of expressing gratitude can create a positive ripple effect
5. Structured approaches like the Five Minute Journal or A-Z list can make gratitude more accessible
