Do you ever just catch yourself feeling a little extra cranky, nitpicky, or just sort of over it… even though nothing is technically wrong?

Yeah, me too. 🙋🏼‍♀️

It occurred to me the other day (as I was falling asleep) that maybe I could use a little "attitude adjustment".

And I'm pretty sure that that’s exactly what sparked this week’s episode of The Karen Kenney Show where I share a simple practice that came to me in the middle of the night:

The little "librarians" in my head call this sucker a “Gratitude Salad.” 🥗 😆

OK, so instead of doing the same ol' same ol' and just kinda' going-through-the-motions gratitude list...

I’m gonna' walk you through how to build a more alive and specific practice by adding different “ingredients” like:

- A person you’re grateful for (and why – with details)

- An animal – past or present – that lights up your heart

- A place that holds a special memory or turning point for you

- A thing that carries real meaning or has brought comfort in your life

- A feeling you love to experience and want to welcome in more

In this episode, I also talk about:

• Why our brains are wired with a negativity bias and how to gently interrupt it when it starts working overtime!

• How a fresh take on gratitude can help when you’re feeling fried, discouraged, or overwhelmed by our crazy-ass world

• A sweet story about Stephen Colbert and laugh lines that has stayed with me

- Simple ways to actually feel the gratitude in your body - instead of just thinking about it in your head

If you’ve been feeling a little whiny, worn thin, or just not yourself lately, I made this one with you (and me) in mind. ❤️
