Erica and Lizette talk about the art of practicing gratitude in everyday life and the amazing health benefits that come with being gracious, grateful and happily fulfilled. They emphasize two key components with the art of gratitude by 1) affirming the good things we have received and 2) acknowledging the role other people play in providing our lives with goodness. Amazing health benefits you may get from practicing gratitude include (but not limited to): strengthening your immune system, improve sleep patterns, increase optimism, joy, pleasure and decrease depression, being more helpful and generous and decreasing isolation and loneliness.  Erica writes about gratitude for wellbeing in her latest blogpost (https://www.ericajaneyoga.com/post/gratitude-for-wellbeing). She begins by writing on practicing the state of gratitude with positive thinking and watching your language - specifically with how you speak to yourself. Be gentle to YOUrself! Erica provides the audience with some helpful ways to initiate the practice of gratitude. By easily noticing and appreciating your surroundings to journaling things that make you reflect on the positive but also the negative in your life - you are able to learn and be grateful for everyday experiences in life. Using your 5 senses is also key in recognizing gratitude for your existence, your life, your being. The miracle of your body and the beauty behind the restorative energy the art of gratitude will provide.  Take a listen and begin your practice...the practice of gratitude. You won't be disappointed :) Additional topics mentioned:  Young Men's Service League (https://ymsl.org/) Austin City Limits (https://www.aclfestival.com/)
