Being thankful at all times may not come easily or naturally, but it benefits us in every key area of our lives. A posture and practice of gratitude doesn’t just give us higher levels of emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being - it impacts our physical health too.
From heart health to sleep, practicing gratitude has been proven to reduce stress, lower chronic illness, and even prevent disease.
In an age of high anxiety, depression, and burnout, gratitude is a powerful antidote. Through the practice, we get to truly surrender to God’s will and that can give us an immense amount of peace.
Our brains aren’t naturally inclined to appreciate, so we must develop a gratitude muscle rather than treat it as a one-time behavior.
Considering that our brains aren’t naturally wired for gratitude, how do we intentionally make it our posture? Why is gratitude so closely connected to surrender?
In this episode, I’m joined by physician, scientist, and my brother, Dr. Joe Parambil. We talk about the positive impacts of gratitude and how to make it a part of our daily lives.
Gratitude goes hand-in-hand with the process of submission. You can’t be grateful if you have your expectations, ambitions, and agendas that have to be met. -Dr. Joe Parambil
