People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways. They can apply it to the past, the present, and the future. Regardless of the inherent or current level of someone's gratitude, it's a quality that individuals can successfully cultivate further.

Most of the studies published on this topic support an association between gratitude and an individual's well-being. Other studies have looked at how being grateful can improve relationships.

Gratitude helps people refocus on what they have instead of what they lack. And, although it may feel contrived at first, this mental state grows stronger with use and practice.

Here are some ways to cultivate gratitude on a regular basis.

📝 Write a thank you note
🧠 Thank someone mentally
📓 Keep a gratitude journal
🧮 Count your blessings
🙏 Pray
🧘 Meditate

A narcissist is someone with a personality disorder called Narcissistic Personality Disorder, marked my lack of empathy, need for affirmation, and manipulative behavior. It's not just high self-confidence or moments of the above. It's consistency in these qualities.

The word triggered is often misused for example, "that song triggers me. It's annoying."

Being triggered means you are experiencing an intense emotional or physical response to a specific stimulus or even, often linked to past trauma. Not all strong emotions or reactions are triggers. Triggers are specific and linked to past traumatic experiences.

"When you're not receiving something you very much desire, entertain the possibility that this waiting season is not in vain at all. You are being prepared and strengthened for it, or for something far more aligned with the truth of your heart." - sasha_tozzi

Whether you believe in God, are religious or spiritual, or not, this is a helpful way to view those times in our life that don't feel purposeful. What do others think about this quote? 👇

To different religions, Diwali means different things. In Hinduism, it celebrates the return of the deities Rama and Sita to Ayodhya after a 14-day exile, whereas Sikhs commemorate the sixth guru Hargobind Singh's release from prison in 1619.

Because Diwali is celebrated by such a diverse group of people, traditions and customs can vary from family to family. Leading up to Diwali, many clean their houses, light diyas (oil lamps), draw rangoli (patterns made with colored powder or rice), and cook all sorts of mitai (sweets), and snacks. Some dress up in new clothes, perform pujas (religious ceremonies), get together with family and friends to enjoy large feasts, and even light fireworks.

For some, it's also a time for prayer and reflection, visiting temples to pray to the Hindu deity Lakshmi. Overall though, it's a time for happiness and joy. 🪔🎆🤲

That whole body anxiety and panic can't be easily addressed through telling yourself to calm down and move on. In those moments, your nervous system needs a physical cue that it's safe. A signal that goes through the body first rather than the mind.

Most of us look at you with this kind of admiration in our sessions at some point. What some of you may not fully understand is that our pride is more so in seeing the work you're doing on your own outside of sessions over the ah-ha moments in our sessions.

A weekly 45 minute session is a tiny part of your life. The real change happens by applying what you've learned in that short window to your daily life. And that brings us so much joy!
