0:17.3	Gratitude for what you have in your life at this moment and in today's episode you're going to be
0:26.6	guided deepening your sense of gratitude. There is a lot of research that shows that gratitude doesn't always come naturally.
0:40.0	We think that we can simply think up gratitude and we'll begin to feel it but it turns out that gratitude, like many things is a habit and it can take some time to cultivate gratitude.

2:54.1	And I want to start sharing these journeys with you
