This week, we are discussing gratitude - now before you roll your eyes, myself and Ber want to share how gratitude has been an incredibly powerful force in our lives. We will walk you through what gratitude practice is....and what it isn't ... And we will share some of the ways you can't begin to incorporate it into your daily practice.
We refer to 'research' a bit in this episode. And while many of you might not be interested in the behind the scenes reading on this topic, I'm guessing that some of you are as nerdy as we are. So follow the links below if you would like to see some of the research we looked through ahead of today's episode.
