21. The art of actually expressing gratitude and appreciation, and even reframing your story too

This is a conversation about gratitude vs appreciation and the art (and discipline) of practicing them with yourself and others.

• Denying reality doesn’t work

• The necessity of an authentic foundation

• Do we have to “earn” our gratitude moments

• Where are you expressing it

• When are you expressing it

• Practice this with yourself: gratitude and/or appreciation lists

• This is how we reframe events as well, without denying reality

• Bridging statements vs complaining before expressing gratitude or appreciation

• The difference between gratitude and appreciation

• Be honest about the nature of the vibrational universe ;)

Now the real eye-opener is: my story with that app reveals MY vibrational foundation at the time too. Especially my “fix-it” tendencies at the time. ha! I ended up bouncing and creating different groups for myself. And I appreciate that. ;)
