Gratitude: The Science-Backed Reset Your Body Needs

Designed Foundations

“Gratitude is not about ignoring the struggles. It’s about being able to hold space for the hard and the beautiful, about acknowledging that while life is messy, there are still things worth celebrating. Gratitude says, ‘Yes, this is hard, but I can still see what’s good.’”

How far can an attitude of gratitude go in rewiring your brain, calming your central nervous system, and improving your physical health?

Our host, Kelly Meehan, walks us through the incredible, science-backed benefits of gratitude and how it not only calms the brain's fear center but also helps transition the nervous system from a stress-laden state to one of restoration.

You’ll walk away with actionable steps to embed gratitude into your day-to-day routine. This isn't about striving for perfection–after all, there’s no such thing as “perfect.” Rather, your goal is to achieve consistency in your daily gratitude practice, which leads to peace, clarity, and resilience amidst the chaos of life.

“When we practice gratitude, we are aligning ourselves with God’s Truth.”

Through today’s case studies and practical exercises, may you be encouraged to recognize and celebrate the abundance that surrounds you by choosing to infuse gratitude into your daily life!
