Summary

Discover all of the podcasts in our network, search for specific episodes, get the Optimal Living Daily workbook, and learn more at: OLDPodcast.com. Episode 3847: David Cain explores how genuine gratitude doesn’t come from intellectual reflection but from tuning into the sensory details of everyday life. By focusing on the small, beautiful, and often unnoticed experiences unfolding in the present moment, we can tap into a deeper and more spontaneous form of appreciation, one that enriches even the most ordinary days. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.raptitude.com/218/2/gratitude-noticing/ Quotes to ponder: "Gratitude, when we do genuinely feel it, arises from experiences we are currently having, not from evaluating our lives in our heads." "Look for your good fortune not in some abstract assessment of your life situation, but in your experience right in this moment." "You’ll appreciate so much more of every day, even bad days, when you look for the small pleasures of present moment experience instead." Learn more about your ad choices.
