THE FOUR A’S OF GRATITUDE

Hey you guys, welcome to the Karen Kenney Show. Today is

actually Thanksgiving 2025 I don't really expect anybody to

be listening to this sucker

on Thanksgiving morning, but if you are, thank you so much for

being here. And before I dive into the show for real. I just

want to say how grateful I am for you for being one of my

listeners, for First of all, for you being you, for you showing

up, for you pressing play again and again and again, and for

reminding me that we are all just trying to figure this whole

being human stuff.

This whole being human experience, all this shit, we're

just trying to figure it out together. So like, whether you

listen in your car, whether you listen when you take your pups

for a walk, when you're doing laundry, when you're working

out, like what you're doing shit around the house, like however

you are here. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, seriously,

for being here and for being a part of my little like podcast,

family

and community, I really, really, really appreciate you so much.

Okay, now today's episode, you might have already seen the

title. I'm just gonna dive right into this whole thing, right?

The four. I call it the four A's of gratitude. Now, if you've

ever been in one of my programs, like the nest, or you've worked

with me one to one in the quest, I always love to framework, like

things in a really simple way. I have a bunch of other things

like the big three and the four season, A's of lasting change.

Like, I really love to simplify things, because that's how my

brain learns as well. So hopefully you're going to find

this helpful too. And I made myself a bunch of notes so I

wouldn't, I wouldn't, my squirrely little brain wouldn't

forget. Okay, number one, when we talk about gratitude, I think

it's wicked easy to like, roll our eyes and to think of this as

being some super duper, like, fluffy or performative or

mundane morning practice, right? Like so many people in the past,

however, many years as quote, unquote, morning practices,

although morning practices have been around in the spiritual

community like forever, right? But a lot of people are like bio

hacking their way into being their best selves, you know what

I mean? So it's really easy to start to think about gratitude

as being just something you have to do. You got to check off the

list or whatever. And that's not what this is about.

Gratitude, to me, is not fluffy, it's not performative, and it's

not some mundane morning practice gratitude actually has

more power and impact than we might think. And there's even

scientific evidence you guys to show that gratitude isn't like

like, as I again, as I say, fluffy and fairy like and feels

kind of like this fantasy thing. When we practice gratitude

consistently, it actually changes us. It changes how our

brain works. It changes how we perceive the world, ourselves

and each other. It also changes how we go about showing up in

life, how we go about living it, and how we are being in the

world. It's a very powerful practice, so I'm just gonna

break down what I find really helpful and what I do, and maybe

it'll help you too. So I know that when I first started

thinking about gratitude, I did, it was almost like this, like

gratitude, I'm so great, you know, it can feel just kind of

like a little, I'm talking like a long, long time ago, right,

when I had a little bit of an attitude problem.

Who? Little mass hole. Little mass hole. Me, okay, but here's,

here's how I think about it now, especially as a wicked, long

time of Course in Miracles student, right? So I like to do

what I call number one step one awareness, right? This

awareness, we have to be actively looking for what A

Course in Miracles calls the good, the beautiful and the

holy.

So when we're looking for the good, the beautiful and the

holy, we have to remember first and foremost, that our brain is

wired. It is designed to always. You've heard me talk about this

on other episodes, that the brain is designed to be looking

for all the time dangers and threats and stuff like that,

which, of course, was helpful back in the day when we lived in

caves and there were like, ginormous creatures roaming

around our backyards looking for a tasty snack. You know what I

mean? They were like, Mmm, human. Little, little, little

snack, bite size snack, right back then, we wanted to be aware

of the dangers and the threats that existed. Unfortunately, not

that much time has passed. Our brain hasn't really evolved and

caught up, right? So it's not always helpful for us and our

nervous systems to be walking around in fear and scanning our

environment all the time for problems.

And jacking up our nervous system with stress hormones like

that's not that helpful for us. So what we want to be able to do

now is to consciously, purposefully shift our focus to

Yes. Of course, the nervous system is always going to be

asking its number one question, Am I safe? Am I safe? Am I safe?

It's going to kind of naturally do that anyways. But we also can

make a proactive choice, to choose to not just be scanning

all the time for things that we're afraid of, for fear. I'm

always like, we got to be looking for the love as well,

right? We can help shift our mind from a thought system of

fear to one of love. This is one of the things that all the

Course in Miracles is all about. So one of the ways that we can

do that is we have to learn, as I so, like, just honestly say,

we just got to learn to slow the fuck down. Like, you just got to

slow down a little bit. We got to learn how to hit pause, and

we have to deliberately start to pay attention. We are such a

distracted society. Like, let's just leave it there. We all know

this. We are such a distracted society by the devices and the

phones and the dings and the pings and the notifications and

like being, being, I mean, back in the day, advertising was like

in magazines and on a billboard and TV. Now it is a constant

fight for our attention, and they're winning, you know what I

mean? So we have to deliberately choose where we want to place

our attention. We want to be able to shift our focus to

actively seek and find, to find and discover the good, the

beautiful and the holy that's all around us. Now you might

suck at this at first, right? I made a note to mention this, you

might suck at this at first.

You might not be able to find or see the good stuff. So we want

to practice. I always say, start with the smallest thing. Start

with the smallest things. And one of the great ways to do

this, and this is also a great way to how to shift out of

anxiety, right is to really use your senses and start to notice

what you notice right now. What is something right now that you

can notice that might be pleasing to you or pleasant or

helpful, right? It might be a subtle smell, it might be a

soothing sound, maybe it's the birds chirping right when the

birds are singing like singing, not like screaming at each

other, when the birds are truly doing bird song and singing. It

allows our nervous system to relax, because birds only sing

when there's not danger, right, when there's not a predator

looking to eat them. So even like the smallest little sound,

it might be a little kid giggling or laughing. It might

be, you know, your dog like making like little snory sounds

as they sleep, sleep next to you, right? It might be the soft

feel of something. One of the things that I always notice is

the texture of materials, the feel of materials. There's

certain clothes that I just cannot wear, and you'll see

right behind me, just it's there, not, I mean, it's there

on purpose, because I put it there, but not for this purpose.

But if you look back there, there's a blanket behind me

that's called a Minky, and that kind of blanket is one of the

softest blankets I've ever felt in my life. And I have a bunch

of them because my nervous system really loves the feel of

really soft things. Maybe it's something that you see that

makes you smile, right? Maybe it's a little bit of a sweet

taste of something, or if you prefer a salty taste of

something, but get in the habit of really starting to pay

attention, start to notice your environment. Look actively for

the things that are pleasing and soothing and make your hat

expand and drop you into your body, somatically, in a helpful

way, look for the good, the beautiful and the holy in your

environment. And just by doing that, if you're actively

looking, it's going to force you to slow down. It's going to

force you to pay attention. And paying attention is one of the

greatest ways that we show love to be present is to give

somebody else and yourself a present, right? The precious

present. There was a whole book called that, to be present, to

give somebody your presence is like such a gift. And again,

it's one of the ways that we show love. We're saying, You

matter enough that I'm going to be here. I'm going to take my

phone and put it over there. I'm going to shut it off. I'm going

to look you in the eye. I'm going to be with you now, like

be here now, as Ram Dass says, Okay, that's step number one of

how to practice it, to not only practice gratitude, but reap the

benefits of practicing gratitude. Number two,

acknowledgement. I call this the you didn't do it alone. You

didn't get here all by yourself. Kid, you know what I mean. You

are not an island unto yourself.

So in America, and especially Americans, right? But I don't

know what's going on if you're watching this zoom just started

doing a thing. Oh, yeah, they keep adjusting where my camera

is. I.

Got to find that feature and shut it off. Okay? And we're

back. So Americans love to go all in on like the rugged and

individualistic story like that. We got to pull ourselves up by a

bootstraps, you know, like I did it. I did it. My own American

hero, it's me. And yes, while we do have to be the hero of our

own stories. None of us got here by ourselves. None of us got

here without a little leg up, a little a little help from

somebody else. And if we're really, really, really being

honest with ourselves, we can admit that we can allow our ego

to take a little bit of a back seat. And I think what's really

interesting is nowadays, especially if you're an

entrepreneur or a writer or a speaker or somebody with a

podcast, whatever, right? You got to have, like, this origin

story. And everybody wants this, like, come back kid, which, me

too, like, I love a great comeback kid story. I love a

great underdog story. I love when people talk about, like,

how, you know this happened, but then I did X, Y and Z, and it's

like, it's, it's the great hero's journey, right? We see it

in all the great movies, from Star Wars to Rocky to whatever.

We all love that. But even all those characters, you know Luke

had, you know Yoda in the force, you know Rocky, had Mick in his

corner, right? He had training partners. He had help. We've all

had help along the way. And if your brain or your memory tries

to, I said, if your brain or your memory tries to convince

you that nobody in your family, at school or in your community,

etc, directly helped you, right, if you just can't, if you're

just sitting there in your story like nobody helped me. I did it

all on my own. I'm going to invite you now to get even more

micro, right, I want you to just start to acknowledge on even the

tiniest scale, if you can't go big, if you really have

convinced yourself that it's been you and only you like let's

go even more micro. Think about the people who like sewed and

made your clothes. Think about the people who planted and

picked your food. Think about the people who drove the bus you

were on, or stock the shelves at the grocery store where you get

your food. Or, you know, maybe right now, you're going through

a tough time and you're getting your food at a food kitchen or a

local shelter or something. Think about those people, right?

And sometimes we resist this because it requires a certain

level of humility. It requires us and our ego to kind of like

dial it down a little bit and acknowledge that it hasn't

always been the US show, right? I always laugh like the Karen

Kenney show. It hasn't always been the Karen Kenney show. I

have had plenty of helpers along the way, and I delight in

acknowledging them. I delight. I don't always maybe do it

publicly, right? I might do it behind the scenes or send a note

or acknowledge them when I see them in person, but I think it's

something beautiful and very, very healing when we acknowledge

that we've had helpers along the way. Now maybe those people

right have been behind the scenes, and this is how I kind

of say it. This requires a certain level of humility to

acknowledge that there have always been help is sometimes

seen and unseen, known and unknown, because maybe they were

behind the scenes or invisible to you. But it doesn't mean that

they haven't been there. It doesn't mean that they haven't

been there. And I was thinking about Mr. Rogers, of course, I

was because I think about him all the time. But in 1999 Mr.

Rogers was inducted into the and I've told this story before, but

he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. And in

1981 I think it was he had on his show a young man, a young he

was a little boy at the time, Jeffrey erlinger, and he was in

a wheelchair. You might remember this episode, and it was a

beautiful episode. And I remember when as a surprise for

his induction into the Hall of Fame, Jeffrey Jeff Erling came

rolling out on the stage, and you can literally see Mr. Rogers

face. I get emotional every time I watch the video. And you can

literally see Mr. Rogers mouthing. I think what he's

mouthing is, oh my God, and he gets right up out of his seat.

He doesn't even use the stairs like he steps right up onto the

stage. He hops up with such enthusiasm and such joy to see

this person who was like, he's like, totally acknowledging him

and the role that he played on his show, right? So even that,

but that's not the I mean. So he does acknowledge this, this,

this being, this beautiful being who is a part of the great

history of, you know, Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. But then he goes

on during his speech to ask the audience a series of questions,

and he asked them to meditate on this thing. And I'm going to

share this with you too. This is a big part of acknowledgement.

So Mr. Rogers says to them, I quote, who has helped you love

the good that grows within you, who loved you and wanted what

was best for you in life, who has encouraged you to become who

you are.

Today. I'm paraphrasing a little bit, but this is the essence of

what he says, who has helped you love the good that grows within

you. What an incredible question I want you guys at home to like

ponder this as well, who loved you and wanted what was best for

you in life, and who has encouraged you to become who you

are today. This is incredible stuff. When you're trying to

practice gratitude, to start to think about these beings, it's

so helpful. It's so healing to acknowledge that you've had

friends or family or helpers or support all along the way you

know. And of course, in miracles, is a beautiful line

that says, if you knew who walks beside you on this way that you

have chosen. Fear would be impossible if we just knew who

walked beside us. And this is the whole concept of a spiritual

team, right? I knew no. I talk about this all the time, S, T,

o, t, J, spiritual team. In fact, if you go to my website,

Karen kenney.com, at the top, there's a little freebie if you

want to learn about how to build your own spiritual team, to

figure it out, right? Who's on your team, so that you are more

consciously aware of the seen and unseen helpers of the human

and divine angels, the helpers who walk along beside you, the

Spirit, the Holy Spirit, your internal teacher, right? That is

always with you. So it's so helpful and healing to

acknowledge that you've had these people, that you're

connected not only to other humans, you guys, but also to

our animal friends. Sometimes our animals are the first ones

that showed us

that we were seen. They were the first ones to really acknowledge

us and love us in a safe way. I'm going to do a whole episode

about that. But we're not only connected to other humans. When

we start to acknowledge kind of like this web of life, this

interconnectedness of our species of mother nature and

humans and all of it the universe,

we start to realize that we're a part of something much larger.

And whether you happen to call these larger things God or

Mother Nature or universe or source or love or divine

intelligence or higher self or higher power, it doesn't matter.

We all have spiritual teams. I believe we have all had helpers.

And to acknowledge that is a huge benefit of gratitude, okay?

Number three, this is the appreciation pot.

When we have an appreciation, when we're practicing gratitude.

This step is about getting out of your head and dropping down

into your hat, dropping down into your body, into your lived

and felt experience, right? So it's one thing to have an

appreciative thought. We're wicked good. Most of us of going

out of the body and getting up into the head and

intellectualizing other things, you know, we love to like think,

where think is. We love to think and problem solve and and again,

oh yeah, I'm going to think about something I'm grateful

for, and then you can just regurgitate it and say it, but

you don't actually feel it. And it's one thing to

intellectualize gratitude. It's a whole other kit and caboodle

to drop down into your body and really let you and your nervous

system feel it, to really feel it. And this can be one of the

hardest parts for people to practice, is getting out of

their head and down into their body to shifting from that

intellectualizing stuff that we love to do, right? It's kind of

like, well, I should feel grateful for this, right? It's

moving out of that kind of feeling and getting down into

the marrow, like really getting down into the hot beat of this

so that you and your nervous system can have an appreciation,

truly feel appreciation, and to feel gratitude. And at the very

end of this episode, stay tuned, because I'm going to do a little

like gratitude meditation. I was going to do it here, but I don't

want to interrupt the flow of information. I want to allow

your brain to shift gears. So stay tuned for that. Okay, so

Rick Hansen, super duper smarty pants. He says, You practice an

emotional state until it becomes a neural trait. So you practice

thinking something, saying something, feeling something

with enough feeling, with enough emotion, enough times, it starts

to hard wire in your brain. You practice an emotional state

until it becomes a neural trait. Well, not all of us have been

practicing how to feel gratitude. So what we want to do

is to start to get our brain, our body and our heart, kind of,

like, into coherence. And some of us call this, if you, if

you're a practitioner or student of hot math, which I am, we call

this hot coherence, right? And so what we want to do like, this

isn't like, fake it until you make it. This isn't like, I'm

just gonna fake that. I'm feeling this. It's like no. What

I want you to do is do your best to actually try to conjure up,

right? And I'll just give you this piece for now. Conjure up

and feel gratitude and appreciation for someone or

something or an experience, a human, an animal or whatever.

And it's also important that I say.

I get it like I get it sometimes people be peopling and life be

lifeing. And it is fucking hard. It is so hard to be human

sometimes. And it can feel like it's all coming at you and it's

all falling apart, and you're totally in it, and your brain

just cannot see past the fog, and it will try to tell you that

there is nothing to be grateful for, and it is lying. It is

lying to you. Do not believe everything you think. So this

part is often really hard for people, not just the going into

the body, like really allowing yourself to feel gratitude

again. It's one thing to think it. It's another thing to I'm

hitting my body, right? It's another thing to actually feel

it. And this pad is difficult for people, because it actually

means we have to be vulnerable. We have to practice being

vulnerable. And so the short thing is, and I'll do the

meditation later, but the short direction is, think upon someone

or something. It could be a human friend, somebody you love,

one of your kids, your sweetie, whatever it could be an animal,

it could be a memory, it could be a space or a place or a time

when you really felt happy or joyful or safe or seen or

celebrated, or at peace or at ease, just like something that

when you Think of this person or this animal or this place like,

you truly feel grateful in your heart, like, and I want you to

like, try to remember it in your body, drop into it and engage

with it and let yourself truly feel it like, feel the impact

that that person or that animal or that time or that moment had.

Okay, that's the appreciation step number three. So step

number one has been awareness. Look for the good, the beautiful

and the holy. Number two is acknowledge it. Acknowledge that

you didn't get here all by yourself. You've had some

helpers. Number three, appreciation. We got to get out

of our head, drop down into our heart and down into our body.

And then number four is the action. We got to do something

about it. This is the express it and share it. Right? Express it

and share it. And so this is when I always say to people,

like, if you're somebody who's going to forget this whole

episode and everything that I'm saying, like, hit pause right

now and write yourself a little note. Write yourself a note to

write a note to somebody else about your gratitude. It doesn't

become real. Gratitude is just kind of like this ethereal thing

that we think and we feel until we make it real. Action is the

voice of the hot. Action is the voice of the hot I think I did a

whole podcast about that. And so right now I want you to make a

commitment, right to do this practice. I mean, if you want

to, I'm not your mother. I'm not going to make you right. I'm not

your boss, obviously, I'm not your boss, your mother or your

babysitter. I'm not your jail warden. I can't make you do

shit, okay, but just consider right, taking action on this

gratitude that you just felt in that act of appreciation, write

a note, send a text, make a phone call, take a physical

action, a physical step, to go out and express it. And I always

say, move it from your head to your heart into your hands and

then out into the world. You've heard me talk about this a lot

before, right? Cuz both the giver and the receiver, we

talked about this with kindness, right? Both the giver and the

receiver benefit from this, right? It's in giving that we

receive. So this is the practice of leaving people. You know how

I always say at the end of the show, I probably won't say it at

the end of the show, because I just, I'm saying it now, but we

want to leave the people, the place, the animals, the

environment, better than how we found it. Express your love,

express your appreciation, let people know that you're grateful

for them, that they made a difference, let them feel seen

and heard and know that that they matter, that what they did

a small moment where they paid attention or followed up or

checked on you, right? It's so huge. This is how like the whole

heartbeat of the show, right? Spreading more love in the world

through storytelling and spirituality, right? This is a

beautiful practice. Gratitude is a beautiful and powerful

spiritual practice. And Number Number four, I want to say this

action, right? This when we go into the action pot, this isn't

about just checking things off a list. This isn't about just

rotely doing something, doing it as a routine, and you just go

through it. No, it's like, this is really about doing stuff with

reverence, being really present, right? Almost like a devotional.

You want to be really present and reverent, so we're not just

checking shit off. This is a new way,

right? If you haven't already, some of you might be old hat,

you might be great at this, but for some of you, this is going

to be a new way of showing up, not only for yourself, but the

world around you. Okay, so we're not just checking things off a

checklist. Okay, I'm going to say them again, the four simple

steps to reaping and practicing the benefits right of gratitude

number one, awareness number two, acknowledgement number

three, appreciation number four, we got to take some action.

Okay?

Got to go out into the world and express it and follow up and do

something. Okay, before we go super fast. Little you guys know

that, first of all, I've been a yoga teacher for gazillion

years, like 25 years, I think at this point. So I've been

leading, you know, guided relaxations, guided meditations

for forever. But also, I'm a hypnotist, so this is a

beautiful thing. So I just want to say that if you're listening

right now, please, if you are driving right, do not do this.

If you are driving, if you are operating heavy machinery. This

is the pot where you will hit Pause right, find a cozy place.

And of course, if you're on your phone, you can listen to it on

your phone, but turn off your notifications, so that that

things are just kind of like quiet and so that you are, you

know, undisturbed, and this is a great way to start your day or

to end your day. So just free yourself up from distractions or

any interruptions. Okay? And then, whether you like to lay

down or you like to sit, just find a place that is super duper

comfy and close your eyes. Okay? And then I want you to just take

a nice big, deep breath in through your nose, fill up your

lungs, and then exhale out twice as long. All right, let your

eyes be relaxed and soft. Eyes are closed. If you're watching

this on YouTube, just don't look at me. Close your eyes again,

another big, long, slow, deep breath in,

and then nice, long, slow exhale out, twice as long. And as you

do that, just kind of feel any tension, any stress, start to

melt away as you gradually relax with every breath, just nice and

easy, breathing in fully and deeply,

and then exhaling out one more time. Take another long, slow,

deep breath in, fill up and then exhaling out, just feel yourself

drop into an even deeper state of relaxation. Keep breathing

slowly

and then gently at the top of your head, right you're going to

feel the presence of a warm, soft, golden light. And you can

just picture it. Imagine it. Try to envision it, see it right

above the top of your head, and imagine that it's going to drop

down through the crown of your head and radiate out all the way

down to the tips of your toes.

And as this light is moving through you, through the crown

of your head, behind your eyes, down through your jaw, your

throat, your shoulders, your chest. Just feel your muscles

relax as this light washes over you, as it surrounds you, as it

protects you.

Take another big breath in feel it moving down both your arms,

into your hands, down into your chest, where your heart beats

down through your ribs and into your belly and your pelvic bowl

another big breath in as you exhale, feeling this soft, warm,

healing light as it moves down through your legs, your glutes,

your hamstrings stand Around the front of your thighs, your

knees,

your calves, your ankles into your feet,

and in this safe, relaxed state,

let's allow ourselves to start to reflect on all the things

that you're grateful for.

It might be friends or family, your loved ones. It might be the

sunshine that's outside your window. It might be fresh air.

It might be something kind or nice that somebody else did for

you, whatever comes to mind

and as each person or each moment or each object of your

gratitude appears

as they flash into your mind. I want you to visualize yourself

saying thank you to each thing.

So maybe you flash in your mind, your dog, your pup, maybe you

have a special kitty friend, a cat that you love,

or a human that you love, and as they come into your mind, you

simply say, thank you.

As the next thing comes into your mind, I have a roof over my

head. Thank you.

Maybe your best friend called you yesterday and you see their

face in your mind, thank you. You know Meister Eckhart says,

if the only prayer you ever say is thank you, it would be

enough.

So visualize yourself saying thank you to each thing, each

person, each animal, each furry kid that comes into your mind

and into your heart, and picture this person.

Person, or this place, or whatever it is that you're

grateful for standing in front of you,

and take a moment to tell them, and it might just be one person,

right? You might dedicate this to focus on one person and just

tell them, even if they've already passed, even if they're

dead, even if they're already on the other side, the veil between

the worlds is thin. So picture them standing right in front of

you, and tell them how grateful you are for them and why. And

try to make this vision of them, this image of them that you see

as real as you can, try to notice the little details.

Really pay attention to what is good and beautiful and holy in

this moment,

if you are grateful for some something that you have,

something that you love, try to see all its aspects, the color,

the shape, the texture, the feel, maybe it's a particular

smell or the way it sounds,

just take a moment and say thank you to it. And

if you're having a hard time conjuring up anything, ask your

spiritual team, ask your inner teacher, ask God, ask your

higher power, or your wise advocate, the most wisest part

of yourself, to reveal it to you.

And be patient with yourself as you do this, just take your

time.

Take another big breath in, exhaling it out twice as long,

and just allow this feeling of deep gratitude to exist in your

body, to be in your body, to come into your body and notice

where you're feeling it.

Maybe you're feeling it in your belly. Maybe you're feeling it

in your heart or your throat. Maybe you imagine it or feel it

behind your eyes, wherever it is. Just allow it now to expand.

Enjoy the feeling that feeling grateful and appreciative gives

you feel it wash away any stress or fear or negativity or

tension,

any distress, just allow this sweet and loving and pleasant

presence of feeling

wash through you and grow and Like that golden light feel it

expand even beyond you,

and you can stay here in this relaxed state for as long as

you'd like,

but when you're ready,

we can end this meditation,

but Don't end your gratitude.

We're practicing, and every time we practice, our gratitude

muscle gets stronger.

So even if we're not actively doing it, we're training our

brain, we're training our body to get more, to get better at

giving and receiving appreciation and gratitude and

love.

But when you're ready, you can just take a final moment to just

acknowledge with whether you call this a little prayer or

acknowledgement or an affirmation, you just say thank

you for all of the blessings that I have received.

May these blessings multiply,

may I continue to be aware and to pay attention to all the

greatness and the goodness, the good, the beautiful and the holy

that comes my way. May I have the presence of mind to say

thank you for them,

and I thank you now,

and so it is

Amen. And

when you're ready to shift out of this more relaxed Deep State,

you can just simply wiggle or waggle your toes or your

fingers. You can stretch your body long or yawn or open your

eyes and give yourself a few moments to adjust.

But wherever you go,

take this gratitude with you, this gratitude that you just

felt.

I know today is Thanksgiving, but whenever you're listening to

this gratitude is a year round it's a year round opportunity,

right? It's not just a holiday vibe. It's not just oh, it's

Thanksgiving time to be grateful. No, we get to do this

all year around. So let your habit, let your gratitude become

a habit. I always say, like, let it become habitual, not just

aspirational. Oh, someday I'm going to do that. Yeah, no, no,

get in the habit of feeling grateful. This is how we start

to shift our mind. We shift out of fear into more love. We are

actively looking for the good, the beautiful and the holy in

others, in the world and in ourselves. This is a powerful,

powerful practice. I hope you have found it helpful in some

way, and again, just thank you. I have.

So much gratitude and appreciation for you being here,

for listening, for being a part of this family and community. I

couldn't do it without you. I could not do it without you.

Wherever you go, you guys leave everybody and everything better

than how you found it wherever you go. May you and your love,

right and your gratitude be a blessing. Bye. Bye.
