Thank you for joining us for episode 443 of Live Happy Now.

November is National Gratitude Month, and this week we're rethinking everything we know about how to practice gratitude.

I'm your host, Paula Phelps, and every year around this time, we at Live Happy, like to celebrate gratitude.

But this time, we took a slightly different approach. So I'm sitting down with Live Happy

social media marketing manager Casey Johnson, who joined me on a quest to find unconventional

ways to create or add to your gratitude practice. As you're about to hear, we found some great new ways to build

gratitude and we're even going to tell you how to get the whole family involved. Let's have a listen.

Hey, Casey, how's it going today? Good. How about yourself? I'm doing great. It's gratitude month.

Yes, our favorite time of the year. It is. That's like

such a big deal for us. I mean, I know people think we're like these gratitude geeks, which I guess we are,

but we definitely are. Yeah. But it's fun, you know. And what I'm excited about this year is, you know,

we do talk about gratitude so much. And so we wanted to find a way to approach it a little bit differently. And you and I had conversations around that. And I think because of that, I'm going to let you explain what we decided to do. Yeah, absolutely. You know, this year, we wanted to look for, like you said, some new ways to practice gratitude that maybe we haven't thought about in the past.

For example, when most people think of gratitude, they think about like jotting down a few things in your journal that you're grateful for, which is a great practice.

I mean, I do this often.

But sometimes you can feel burnt out from doing the same gratitude practice over and over.

And sometimes you might just stop practicing gratitude because you feel burnt out doing the same

practice.

So with that being said, it turns out that there's a lot of cool things that we hadn't thought

of.

And I'm excited to jump in.

Well, I know. And it was kind of fun. We were like

gratitude detectives. We're like magnifying glass. We were a little, little bloodhound there.
