#207 A Better Way to Practice Gratitude

Most gratitude practices focus on making a list. In this conversation, we explore a deeper, more effective approach. It’s called counterfactual gratitude, a research-backed practice where you reflect on the good things in your life that almost didn’t happen.

We walk through how this method works, why it has stronger emotional impact than standard gratitude lists, and how it improves connection with others. We also answer several counterfactual questions from a 23-question guide and share stories about turning points, near misses, support from unexpected places, and difficulties that became doorways to something better.

If you want a gratitude practice that leads to real insight and more meaningful conversations, this episode will help you try it yourself.
