You’ve all heard the term “gratitude” recently, and it was most likely from someone telling you that you need more of it in your life. What if we told you that if you were able to increase your gratitude, it could improve your sleep, improve exercise gains, reduce depression/anxiety, increase your lifespan, improve job satisfaction, and make you more productive? All that is true. Now, we are going to show you how you can increase your gratitude to start reaping these benefits with our expert guest, Dr. Dawn Mussallem.

The three big questions we are going to work through with Dawn are:

1. What exactly is gratitude and what are the benefits?

2. Why is it so hard for us as humans to be grateful and regularly practice gratitude?

3. What steps should we take to become our most grateful selves in our life at work, home, and beyond?
