Grounded in Gratitude

Beloved character Elmo recently posted on social media: “Elmo is just checking in! How is everybody doing?” The response was overwhelmingly negative. Tens of thousands of people shared that they are not doing well. At all.

If this sounds familiar, you’re in luck. There is an effective antidote to feelings of hopelessness, frustration, rage, and despair.

Gratitude.

In this webinar we will tap into the often-overlooked power of gratitude and its sibling, appreciative joy.

Scientific research is revealing some fascinating evidence about how and why gratitude in its many forms is proving to be the difference between satisfied, happy people and fearful, miserable ones.

We will define what gratitude is, look at barriers to being grateful, and learn how simply saying thank you changes your brain and neurophysiology for the better.

We’ll engage in some essential practices that will empower you to remember what matters most, what supports you from day to day, and what giving thanks freely and frequently can do for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

Cultivating thankfulness for the blessings -- and even the difficulties -- of your life can become something you rely on to stay balanced and grounded.

Gratitude feels good! It might not always be easy to recognize but once you do, there is no mistaking the feeling of grateful.

Get ready to encounter your own inner force for good. Drop any ideas about self-improvement and adopt an attitude of self-discovery, as you settle in for a heart-opening, mind-expanding exploration of giving and receiving gratitude.

Fee is $12.  Audio recordings of guided gratitude practices and a resource list will be sent to all registrants.

You will be contacted with the Zoom link and detailed information upon registration.
