Show Notes

In this Thanksgiving episode, Keith, Tim, and Taylor reflect on their experiences of gratitude.

Tim begins with an authentic gratitude practice, and then we discuss:

7:45 - The misconception that gratitude can only exist in the presence of "relentless" positivity, and how authentic gratitude is not mutually exclusive with more painful emotions.

17:31 - How mindfulness and acceptance can help us rebuild our relationships with the capabilities and limitations of our bodies.

20:11 - Exploring the various barriers to experiencing gratitude, such as comparison, striving, and attachments.

27:31 - Contextualizing our experiences to find gratitude in the most surprising places (such as when cleaning up cat barf).

41:05 - One thing each of us is grateful for as we are approaching the Thanksgiving holiday.
