Manage episode 499548340 series 2801548
We know gratitude is good for us. But what happens when even the idea of giving thanks feels exhausting or fake? In this honest episode, Alicia helps us reframe gratitude, not as a forced to-do list, but as a natural overflow of rest, healing, and true connection with God.
Learn how to remove the emotional blocks to authentic gratitude and how to live from a place of rest, not performance.

[00:00] Why Gratitude Can Feel Like Another To-Do
[02:00] How Can You Break Free from the Pressure to “Feel Grateful”?
[04:00] What Did Jesus Model About Rest and Refueling?
[06:00] Could a Lack of Emotional Capacity Be Blocking Gratitude?
[08:00] Why We Can’t Gratitude Our Way Out of Burnout
[10:00] How Can You Notice God’s Presence in Small, Overlooked Moments?
