In this episode, Dean Newlund and Gina McAndrew discuss:

• Taking the opportunity to pause and think 
• Useful tools and resources for remaining grateful 
• How gratitude helps you survive sadness 
• Expressing gratitude in the workplace 

Key Takeaways:

• The pandemic gave us a lot of bad stuff, but it also allowed us the opportunity to pause and think. The only way to survive and thrive at this current time is to live and breathe gratefulness. 
• EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique is a good tool to use for healing a habit of fear. It involves tapping into specific points in your body to balance your body’s flow of energy.
• Living gratefully doesn’t mean blinding yourself to the awful realities that exist, it’s about seeing the positive. Don’t deny sadness, acknowledge it and use gratefulness as a tool to survive that sadness. 
• People want to feel like their company or organization cares about them and values them. The best way to do this is to practice consistent expressions of gratitude. Thank your people for coming to work. 

 “You have to be intuitively connected to be grateful for things. You have to live it in every breath. Live in the moment of being grateful.” — Gina McAndrew
