RESET: Gratitude Rewires the Brain
Embrace change with an open mind
Change is an inevitable part of life. Whether we like it or not, change is constantly happening around us. It can be daunting and scary, but it is important to embrace change with an open mind. Megan discusses the importance of being open to change and how it can lead to personal growth and success.
She began by highlighting the fact that change is a natural part of life. From small changes like trying a new restaurant to major life changes like starting a new job or moving to a new city, change is constantly happening. Megan emphasized that instead of resisting change, it is important to embrace it and see it as an opportunity for growth.
One of the key points made was that embracing change with an open mind allows us to learn and grow. When we are open to change, we are more willing to step out of our comfort zones and try new things. This can lead to new experiences, new perspectives, and new opportunities. By being open to change, we can expand our horizons and discover new passions and interests.
Megan also discusses how embracing change can lead to personal growth and success. When we are open to change, we are more adaptable and resilient. We are better equipped to handle challenges and setbacks, and we are more likely to bounce back from adversity. Embracing change with an open mind can also lead to new opportunities and experiences that can help us reach our goals and achieve success.
Embrace gratitude for a positive shift.
Gratitude is highlighted as a powerful tool for shifting our mindset from negative to positive. Megan discusses how gratitude practices can help us focus on what we are thankful for rather than what we lack. By shifting our focus to gratitude, we can open ourselves up to more possibilities and opportunities in life. Gratitude allows us to see the good in our lives, even in the midst of challenges or difficulties.
She also touched on the importance of validating our emotions and allowing ourselves to mourn and process difficult situations. It is okay to feel sadness or disappointment, but when we are ready to move beyond those emotions, we can look for things to be grateful for in the midst of hardship. Gratitude can be as simple as appreciating the air we breathe or the roof over our heads.
Megan encourages listeners to create ongoing lists of things they are grateful for, both in the past and in the upcoming year. By focusing on the things we are thankful for, we can cultivate a sense of appreciation and positivity in our lives. Gratitude can also extend to recognizing the qualities and support of others in our lives, as well as acknowledging our own strengths and abilities.
