Life is full of challenges, both big and small. Almost everyone is experiencing greater stressors and uncertainty than in years past. While you cannot always control what happens in your life or in the world, you can control how you respond each day.One of the most powerful ways to improve your mental health, build resilience, and enhance wellbeing is through gratitude. Practicing gratitude is one of the simplest, most powerful ways to live a more joyful fulfilling life, regardless of what is going on in your life or the world. Practicing gratitude is free, is accessible to all, is accessible at any time, feels good in the moment, and has long-term mental health/emotional benefits.
In this presentation, you will learn five simple, brain-based gratitude exercises you can start using immediately and practice regularly to boost your mood, strengthen your mental health and become a stronger, calmer, and happier version of yourself.
Drawing on her 30 years of experience as a psychologist helping people navigate depression, anxiety, overwhelm, trauma, grief, and loss, Dr. Peggy DeLong will teach you research-backed gratitude methods that are easy to integrate into your life – even on the hardest days. These powerful practices require little time, money, or energy, yet their benefits are profound.
In this session, you will learn:
How you can start every day in a better mood with little time or effort by priming your brain with just two words
About the brain science behind gratitude and setting your intention for the day, and how you can make it work for you effortlessly
How gratitude can help with falling asleep and getting back to sleep when those "worry thoughts" keep you awake at 3AM
How gratitude can improve your relationships with your partner, children, and clients, and improve your satisfaction in life and your business
Why there is no such thing as a "negative" emotion, and how to use your pain and discomfort to learn and grow
Three benefits of focusing on gratitude at bedtime.
Dr. DeLong is a licensed psychologist, coach for high-achievers, professional speaker, and 3x author. She helps people improve mental health and wellbeing through simple, research-backed methods that take very little time or energy. She does this through traditional psychotherapy, her signature group coaching program – Midlife Awakening Sisterhood, courses, wellness retreats, speaking, books, and even bracelets.
