FULL TRANSCRIPT

---------------------

Hello, beautiful listeners! I am your host, Pascale Gibon, and it is with great joy and a touch of nostalgia that I welcome you to episode 321 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Today, we celebrate the completion of our Gratitude Experiment. While Week 7 marks the end of this series, we celebrate the beginning of an enduring gratitude practice in our daily lives.

If you have just joined us or missed some episodes, let me guide you through the transformative gratitude journey we have embarked on together.

Week 1 - Unlocking Gratitude and Happiness:

In week 1, I explained the psychological benefits of gratitude on our well-being, discovering how positive emotions like joy and contentment can enhance our emotional health. The challenge was acknowledging the simple joys and daily miracles by listing ten things you are grateful for.

Week 2 - Deepening Gratitude Through Relationships:

In week 2, we explored gratitude in our relationships, both the supportive and challenging ones. The focus was to recognise the growth and development these connections foster, even amidst conflicts.

Week 3 - Harvesting Hope

Drawing inspiration from Nelson Mandela and Albert Einstein, we explored how gratitude can be a beacon of hope and a tool to appreciate life's blessings. Week 3 exercise was to count your blessings, big and small.

Week 4 - Mindful Gratitude:

In week 4, we delved into the practice of mindful gratitude, appreciating and being fully present in our surroundings. The challenge was to observe and appreciate the often unnoticed beauty around us, transforming our perception of everyday life.

Week 5 - Adopting an Attitude of Gratitude:

This week was an invitation to a daily practice of gratitude, integrating this powerful emotion into every aspect of our lives.

Week 6 - Journaling for the Mind:

We discovered the numerous benefits of writing, particularly journaling, on our minds. Journaling strengthens neuro-pathways and adds depth to our gratitude experience.

If you have been with us through this journey, I invite you now to take a moment to reflect:

  • How has practising gratitude transformed your perspectives and life?
  • Notice any changes in your attitude, emotions, and overall experience.

Guided Gratitude Meditation:

  • To deepen our experience even more, now, let's engage in a Gratitude Meditation:
  • Find a comfortable sitting position. 
  • Take three deep breaths to relax your shoulders, back, body and mind. Breathe in deeply and breathe out slowly. Take a moment to reconnect with your body, mindfully release any area of tension. Now, focus on your heart. Take a deep breath in and out. 
  • As you relax, feel gratitude for your physical well-being and send light to every cell in your body. 
  • Now, take another deep breath and be mindful of your surroundings, the wonderful people in your life and the preciousness of the breath of life. And remember, a deep breath can restore balance whenever you feel overwhelmed.

Gratitude is more than a practice; it's a pathway to uplift our spirits. Spread the joy of gratitude to your loved ones, relationships, and communities.

To summarise, the 7 Steps of Gratitude are:

  1. Choose your modality: meditation, prayer, journaling, or speaking out loud.
  2. Include challenging relationships in your gratitude list, acknowledging their contribution to your growth.
  3. Remember, in tough times, gratitude is your glimmer of hope.
  4. Live mindfully, observing and appreciating the beauty around you.
  5. Cultivate an attitude of gratitude daily; start each day with a grateful heart.
  6. Write in a gratitude journal to deepen your experience.
  7. Be grateful for the breath of life.

I am so grateful and honoured to have guided you on this journey. Thank you for your participation and commitment. I look forward to connecting with you next Monday.

As we approach the holiday season, I celebrate your growth and wish you a wonderful Christmas break.

Live your life with power and harmony, and remember, gratitude is the key to a fulfilling life.

Sending you an abundance of light and love.
