Gratitude: Why Positive Thinking Isn’t Enough

Clare Josa, Research & Training Director

“But how do I feel gratitude? I get stuck with thinking it and it doesn’t make any difference!”

This fabulous question was asked by one of my readers this week.

It’s time to talk about the elephant in the room – why so often positive thinking isn’t enough; it doesn’t work. In fact, it can make us feel worse.

And if you’re a passionate world changer, it can hold you back from making the difference you are really here to make in the world.

If you ever get stuck in your ‘thinking mind’, you won’t want to miss this video.

Here’s a whistle-stop tour of the neuroscience behind this – and some practical inspiration for what you can do instead.

 

Let me know how you get on with the techniques I share in this video – which shifts they create for you. And how might you remind yourself to use them? I’d love to hear from you, via the comments.

And if you want more inspiration from my ‘The School Run’s Done’ series, here’s where you can find the archives.
