In this first episode of our new Happiness Habits series, we’re talking about the one habit that truly changes everything: gratitude. Gratitude is more than polite words — it’s a heart posture that helps you notice the blessings God has placed in your life, even when things feel messy or uncertain.
Today, we’ll explore what gratitude really is, why it matters, and how shifting your focus from what’s wrong to what’s right can move you from stress and overwhelm to peace and authentic happiness.
Today’s episode is a great reminder that no matter the season you’re in, there is always something to be grateful for. It’s you’re choice my friend and today I encourage you to choose to see the good in life, because even when it doesn’t feel like it, the good is all around you.
