I’ve had my fair share of dark times.

Ten years ago, I experienced the triple whammy of navigating a messy divorce, receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, all while my Dad was dying of cancer.

It was during these tough times that I discovered the life-changing power of gratitude.

I used to roll my eyes when yoga teachers (or anyone really) talked about gratitude.

To me, it felt like fluffy emotional bypassing or toxic positivity.

But now I understand the science behind it and how it affects our brain; it’s a no-brainer (excuse the pun) for me.

Gratitude has the power to lift us out of some dark places and can elevate our mood and mental state.

A while back, I did a podcast episode on the Science of Gratitude:

  • how it boosts our mood
  • how it affects our brain
  • my personal experience with gratitude, and
  • I share a simple gratitude practice you can do today to think and feel better.
