We’ll explore the concept of gritty gratitude—what it is, why it matters, and how it can anchor you during life’s toughest moments. You’ll walk away with practical tools to embrace presence, accept your emotions, and create small, meaningful moments—without guilt or pressure. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why gratitude can feel hard during difficult seasons—and why that’s okay. What gritty gratitude is and how it’s different from surface-level gratitude. Practical tools to practice presence and create grounding moments when life feels chaotic. How to let yourself feel your emotions without adding guilt or judgment. Simple ways to notice and appreciate the small, steady anchors in your day. Key Takeaways: Gritty gratitude anchors you: It’s about finding something real and steady to hold onto during life’s storms. Give yourself permission to feel: Allowing emotions without judgment opens the door to presence and relief. Small moments matter: Noticing the warmth of your drink, the sound of laughter, or the feel of the air can ground you in the present. Kindness toward yourself helps: Speak to yourself like you would a friend—gently and with compassion.
