Now, before our episode begins, here's a quick word from today's sponsors.

Positive psychology research shows that gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness.

And that's why I'm so glad you chose to be here with me today on Wake Me Up,

because I want to see you happy.

And this episode, with 10 of the most powerful gratitude affirmations,

is designed to cultivate that. We'll go through all of the affirmations once and then a second time,

and I'll be sure to leave space for you to repeat them to yourself.

Now let's take a nice deep breath, inhale,

filling all the way up into your chest and down into your belly.

Hold and then exhale, release. Fantastic. Now let's begin. I am grateful to have another day for my health.

I am thankful to be surrounded by beauty and wonder.
