Episode Notes

"I need to give what I want to receive back, regardless of whether anybody gives it back to." In this episode of Relationships By Design, Dan and Carol talk about gratitude, how being grateful can help us reframe our circumstances, and why showing our appreciation makes all the difference.

We may not realize it, but so many of us are stuck in the routine of focusing on the negative aspects of life. Whether we feel we don't have enough money, time, or haven't accomplished enough, it can be easy to trap ourselves in that mindset. The art of practicing gratitude, and the clarity we can acquire from reflecting on what we're grateful for, is a great way to reprogram our minds to focus on the positive.

As we start noticing just how much we can choose to be grateful for, the next step is taking that gratitude and sharing it with others. In doing so, we open the door to feeling thankful for the ones we share our lives with, and can achieve a state of bliss in our daily lives.

"Appreciation is the act of recognizing the worth of something or someone."
