Lewis Howes argues that gratitude shifts your mind from what's missing to what's working. Speaking or writing what you're grateful for rewires your brain away from scarcity, even when you're stressed or grieving. It's not magic, just a principle most people forget to use.

Gratitude shifts you from what's missing to what's actually working. And that's the key. Gratitude isn't about pretending everything is perfect. And we go through seasons and moments of life that are stressful and overwhelming, and there's grief and loss and sadness and all these things. But what it is is about training your mind to see what's already working and the good in life, even if there's overwhelm, stress, sadness. Because when you practice gratitude consistently, you stop living in scarcity and you start living in awareness. And that's the key. Practice gratitude. Say it out loud, or put it down in writing and watch how it will completely change your life. This isn't some magic tool, but it is the fundamentals that most people forget to apply in their life.
