How Gratitude Actually Works in Boosting Your Mood!

Good morning, everybody. Happy— what day is today? Thursday. Happy Thursday. Welcome back. What just happened there? Are we live? There we go. I don't know what that was all about. You guys can see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Can you see? Something is happening on the live. There we go. Can you guys see? Yes, we're back. All right, I think it's when I'm switching accounts, it gets kind of funky. Anyway, here we are. Welcome to Gratitude Livestream Journal number 34. It's great to be with you guys. We do this daily and it's fun to be back. We share things that we are grateful for because grateful entrepreneurs are happy entrepreneurs, are the world changers, are the ones out there making the difference, being equally happy with what we have as well as frustrated that we want to go out and do more. And so that's what these Gratitude Livestreams are all about. So I'm going to share 3 things that I am grateful for. I want you guys to share 3 things that you are grateful for, leave it in the live chat, and also for those of you guys watching the rebroadcast, leave it down in the comments below. Important that you actually feel it though. As you think about it, ask yourself why. Why is this important to you? And I'm going to start it off, and we're going to get into your live comments. Today is a special day for me. Today I actually don't have 3 things to share. I have one where I'm changing it up a little bit today because today is my anniversary with Nina. And we don't celebrate our wedding anniversary. I mean, we kind of do. It's August 15th, but we really, as our anniversary, count from the day that we started dating. And so that was today, a couple of years ago, more than a couple of years ago. What happened was we met at Turn On Dance Salsa. I didn't own the company yet. It was just— I was just an investor in the company, a teacher at the company. And I met Nina there and we used to go out. There were these socials that we had that we went out after the social, went for dinner, and Nina was there and I was there and we started getting to know each other and chit-chatting and talking. And one of the things that really impressed me was her story. Of coming to the country and how it all happened. And I don't think into the details, but, but she impressed me nonetheless. And, uh, just kind of the everything that she had gone through, the lack of complaining, uh, was something that was really impressive because a lot of people could have gone through that and just complain and complain and complain, and she didn't. So, uh, that, uh, sparked an initial interest there. And if any of you guys watched my 7 Ways video that came out, I think yesterday, you'll see a big change that happened in me the past 3 years, especially of doing video. And, you know, a lot of that has been thanks to Nina too, and just supporting me. And, you know, even if I had these crazy ideas, being willing to go along with it and see what happens. And so I'm super appreciative. I'm super appreciative to Nina. She made me some surprises. There's 4 things that I have to eat today that are from Nina. The first I've saved. I'm going to eat right after this is these lentils with— you can't really see it from this angle, but there's a star-shaped egg and a heart-shaped egg that she woke up early to make me this morning. Maybe before heading off to work. So super appreciative of that and all the other surprises that I'm sure are coming in the fridge. So yeah, so it's— an anniversary is always a great day to think back of all of the exciting things that have happened since you've been together. And Nina's always been by my side, always been supportive of me. And it's really— it means a lot. It means a lot. And she's here now. Hey, Nina. So that's what I got. I have a happy anniversary cup of gratitude today. Did I say cup of gratitude? I think I did. I said cup of gratitude. I got some reishi in my head today. So let's get to what you guys have in the live chat. Jay Rice started us off. What are you grateful for today? I love it, Jay. Thanks for leading the charge today. Jay is thankful for the celebrities of the world who serve as public examples Public examples to learn from. For longevity and youth, which helps life be vital and fun. Jay's been— we've had some interesting conversations about longevity coaches for professional athletes. So it's interesting he's bringing that up. And for the inner guidance and well-being available to all. I'm liking that. Good job. Zeno, I'm grateful for number one, soap. Cuz water alone isn't enough. I love it. 2. Almost having finished my video, just gotta get the ending right and then ask for feedback. Pretty exciting. Excited for your video, man. I'm sure there's a lot of people in Believe Nation who would love to see it and give you feedback if you want to link it up in one of these live chats. 3. Evan's livestream day. Always fun, exciting, motivating, and informative. That's every day. Every day is livestream day. At least weekdays. Great job starting us off. Where's Mihavil? Yeah, where's Mihavil? Let's see. Oh, he's here. Hey, I'm here, but extremely busy. Just sending some positive vibes to you guys. Appreciate that, man. Manjunath. Hi, everybody. Rishi. Morning, everyone. Cup of love. I love it. Manjunath. Today I'm grateful for Evan Carmichael. Appreciate that, man. Music and books. So important too. You know, I think finding a way to incorporate that into your daily routine. For me, in the morning, I always put on some music. It just wakes me up, shakes me around, put on stuff that I want to groove to and puts me in a better mood instantly. So I think it's super important. And then books. I have an almost nightly ritual of reading a little bit of a book before I go to bed. We went and got these little nightlights that we put next to our stand and then read some books when we go to sleep, unless it's some crazy late night or we came back from a Toronto Dance Salsa event, then we don't. But I think incorporating music and books into your daily routine is important. What do you got? What do we got? What do we got? Cup of Good Morning, cup of Thunderclap. It's official. It's official. Yes, we can see. Yes, thank you. I don't know what happened. My monitor blanked out at the very start of this. Hi family! Nikuru, hello! Hello! Nina's here! Hi! Hello!

Very cool. Family, incidentally, is the one word of Toronto Dance Salsa. So I believe in family values too. Rishi Cupp TV, number 1, I'm thankful for all animals and loving creatures. I like that.
