Avoid These Barriers to Grateful
An Excerpt from Dan’s 7 Impossibilities of Gratitude
#1. Worry
You can’t worry and be grateful in the same moment.
Don’t worry about overcoming worry. Just notice and acknowledge benefit or advantage every day.
#2. Complaining
You can’t complain and practice gratitude with the same breath.
Tip: Breathe in deeply and breathe out “thank you” like a silent meditation.
#3. Anger
You can’t be grateful and angry at the same time.
