Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Brandon Cole here and welcome back to Calm
over Chaos. You know, life can feel like a runaway
roller coaster sometimes right one minute, you're soaring high with joy,
the next your plummeting into a pit of anxiety. But
what if I told you there's a simple, yet powerful
tool that can help you navigate those twists and turns
with more grace and ease. Today we're diving deep into
the amazing world of gratitude. Not just because it makes
(00:22):
you sound like a soup as and individual, although that's
a bonus, but because it seriously boosts your mental well being.
Ever felt like a life is just one long to
do lists with never ening deadlines and constant pressure. You
know that feeling when your mind races, worries take over,
and happiness seems miles away. Well, my friend, gratitude acts
like a cosmic rosette button. It shifts your focus from
(00:44):
what's lacking to what you already have, the good stuff,
the little things, the big wins, even the simple act
of breathing. And trust me, the shift and perspective can
be life changing. Now, I'm not talking about some cheesy,
faked till you make it mentality here. Gratitude is genuine
appreciation for the blessed in your life, no matter how
big or small. It's recognizing the good even amidst the chaos.
(01:06):
And let me tell you when you start practicing gratitude,
amazing things happen. First Up, it reduces stress and anxiety.
When you focus on what you have instead of what
you lack, those worries seem to fade into the background.
Think about it. Would you rather dwell on the traffic
jam or be grateful for having a car that got
you there. Second, gratitude boost your happiness levels. It's scientifically proven.
(01:28):
Studies show that people who regularly practice gratitude report feeling
happier and more fulfilled. You start seeing the world through
rose colored glasses, which is always a good thing. Third,
gratitude improves your relationships. When you express appreciation for the
people in your life, it strengthens those bonds. A simple
thank you can go a long way showing them that
you value the presence and contributions. Fourth, it fuels motivation
(01:52):
and resilience. When you're grateful for what you have, you're
more likely to be motivated to achieve your goals. You
see the bigger picture and even setbacks fee less daunting
because you know there's so much good in your life already.
And finally, gratitude enhances your overall well being. It promotes
better sleep, improves physical health, and even boosts your immune system.
(02:12):
Talk about a win win situation, right, So how do
we actually cultivate this powerful force? Well, let's imagine this.
He wake up in the morning. Instead of hitting that
snooze button and drowning in worries, take a few moments
to reflect on three things you're grateful for. It could
be anything you'll comfy bed, a delicious breakfast, or even
just the sunshine peeking through your window. Now I know
(02:33):
what you might be thinking. Easy for you to say, Brandon,
my life isn't exactly a walk in the park. Trust me,
I get it. Life throws curve balls at all of us.
But remember, gratitude isn't about ignoring the bad stuff. It's
about choosing to focus on the good even when things
are tough. Think back to a recent challenge you faced.
Was there anything positive that came out of it? Maybe
(02:54):
you've learned a valuable lesson, discovered hidden strengths, or strengthened
your resilience. Even in the midst of adversity, there's always
something to be grateful for. So let's make gratitude a
day practice. Start small, Rite down three things you're thankful
for each day, express appreciation to someone you love, or
simply take a moment to save with the beauty around you. Remember,
it's not about being perfect. It's about making a conscious
(03:16):
effort to shift your perspective and embrace the good. And
trust me, when you start cultivating gratitude, you'll be amazed
at the positive impact it is on your mental health
and overall well being. That's a wrap for today's episode,
