On this episode of Seeking Wisdom, we're going to talk about gratitude. I love it. What are you grateful for, Dave? Man, I'm grateful for everything. Life is good. This is a good, like, tee up, like, as we go into, here in the States, it's going to be about Halloween pretty soon, and then we go into Thanksgiving. Yeah. We're giving you an early Thanksgiving.

Yeah.

Yeah. So I actually had sent a message to Dave with no context, which is my specialty, if you know me.

And all it said was like, let's do an episode on gratitude and then practicing it every day.

That's all he had to go.

And from that little ember, Dave has to create a large flame. This is seeking wisdom at its finest. We just give the people, you know, what we think they want. Yes. So. All right. So tell us about gratitude. Yeah. So gratitude is something many of us don't think about often. I started this practice over 400 and some odd days. I know because I track it every day.

What's the app?

The app I use is called, let's see, momentum. Cool. Momentum. And so it's an iPhone app and a Mac

app that you can use, but you can use anything. And it basically is just a calendar that you can track your streaks on doing certain habits.

Like I track yoga.

I track writing in this five-minute journal every day.

And I track a couple other things that I want to make sure I do get to.

And so because I want to turn them into habits.

And if I don't turn them into habits, then they're just dreams. But now that speaking of habits, like now that you've done this 400 plus days in row, do you feel like you can't break it? Does that thought come into your mind? To break it? No. No, but I think it's a routine, but like everything else, we can get busy and forget about it and so we still need that proactive reminder

and that's why I keep it in the app cool so I do this five-minute journal uh every morning and it's not

five minutes it's like 30 seconds yeah I just saw it it's like six bullets six bullets right and I

and it's usually the same six bullets every day but it's just like it's repetition so you're

you're reminding yourself.

And the first thing, the first section is called, I am grateful for dot, dot, dot, dot.

And in that, you can write anything.

And so I write three bullets every day that I want to make sure that I remember, that I

remember to be grateful for.
