Welcome to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Beaton, and on this week's midweek mini episode, we're just going to talk a little bit about gratitude in the time of crisis. Thanks in the time of crisis. So like many of you may have experienced in the past several months, and by the way, just a quick acknowledgement, my audio may not be as crisp and clean as it normally as today.

I don't have my audio equipment with me. And so I am just recording on a different device. But as many of you have probably

experienced over the past several months, there has been a significant change in life. A lot of people are restricted to who they can spend time with.

Loss financially, loss emotionally, loss maybe of jobs or restrictions around your business and how you're able to conduct that business,

restrictions around your relationships.

I know many people that they've had to spend a considerable amount of time apart from

their partner stuck in different countries. Families that are separated. So there's really,

you know, a tremendous amount of stress and fear that a lot of people are facing right now,

that many, many people are experiencing in our world

due to the circumstances that we are living through right now.

So how do we have things?

How do we express gratitude in times of chaos?

I was talking about this with the client the other day and said, you know,

right now we are living through this very interesting time because in many ways, we're living

through a time of tremendous fear, just a tremendous amount of fear. You can feel it in the

conversations that you have with people. You can observe it and

watch it in the mainstream media and narrative and conversation that's happening. It's showing up

in entertainment. It's showing up in news cycles. It's showing up in social media. It's showing up

in your conversations with friends and families. There's a lot of division. Many families are broken up

because of political conversations or differences, religious differences in conversations.
