Episode #8 - KK Jams on Gratitude

Welcome Innerspace Surfer and spirited soul.. Today's Episode topic touches on a practice that can get poo-poo’d as kinda “BASIC”, but it’s one of MY personal favorites and it ALWAYS brings me back to what’s REALLY important. So let’s spend a lil time today to JAM on - GRATITUDE.

By definition GRATITUDE is “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness”. Cool cool cool…but let’s explore a lil deeper yea?

New research is starting to explore how gratitude works to actually improve our mental health. This Episode draws on evidence from the article “How Gratitude Changes You and Your Brain” from Berkeley.edu’s, Greater Good Magazine (online). I'll cover these four takeaway's from the research & my own personal Gratitude daily practice methods.

1. Gratitude unshackles us from toxic emotions
2. Gratitude helps even if you don’t share it
3. Gratitude’s benefits take time
4. Gratitude has lasting effects on the brain
