Episode 22 Cultivating Gratitude A Daily Practice for Mental Well-Being

In a world where stress, busyness, and constant striving often dominate our daily lives, gratitude can feel like a simple concept that is easy to overlook. Yet, research consistently shows that gratitude is one of the most powerful tools we have for improving mental health and overall well-being. Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you” when someone does something kind—it is a deeper, intentional practice of recognizing and appreciating the good that exists in our lives, no matter how small. By cultivating gratitude, we shift our focus from what is lacking to what is present, from scarcity to abundance, and from stress to a sense of calm and contentment.
