Dean Graziosi delivers a short spoken piece encouraging a practical gratitude exercise: instead of focusing on possessions, recall specific past moments that made you feel grateful. He uses a gym/strength metaphor to explain that gratitude is like a muscle requiring regular practice and issues a direct prompt to the viewer to remember a positive life moment.
You can't be grateful and sad, grateful and depressed, grateful and overwhelmed, grateful and jealous, grateful and envious. Those emotions can't go together. But being grateful sometimes. Everybody says be grateful, but it's kind of tough. Here's what I want you to think about today and this week. Instead of being grateful for what you have, let's look back in your life at the experiences you're grateful for. If you go to the gym and you work out on your biceps, you know that you can make your arms stronger. But if you don't go all the time, your arms get weak. The same thing within here. We know gratitude can change your life. But sometimes you need a reminder on how to make it stick for you, how it works for you. So I want you to think about this today. Instead of being grateful for what you have or the place you live, what about being grateful for moments? So right now, let me ask you to do this. Think back in your life in a moment that was really a great experience.
