#245: The Science Behind Gratitude
11/27/19 • 15 min
The idea of gratitude seems fairly simple. Right?
“Be thankful for what you have.”
We should all feel grateful. Well, at least that's what we want to feel.
Unfortunately, gratitude can sometimes be very complicated. And the feeling of thankfulness doesn’t always come naturally to everyone.
On today’s episode of Life Made Simple, I explore a little bit of the science behind gratitude. And for those of you out there who might occasionally struggle with feeling grateful, I offer you a few ideas that might help.
