Why Your Brain Fights Against Gratitude (& Simple Ways to Start)

Ever wonder why gratitude feels so challenging, even when life is relatively good? In this episode of Life Skills with Louie, we explore the fascinating science behind our brain's natural resistance to gratitude.

Learn about:

• How "threat-scanning" and "novelty-seeking" impact gratitude

• Why starting small with gratitude actually works better

• Practical ways to cultivate gratitude (like appreciating warmth or enjoying fruit)

• How gratitude connects to other mindfulness skills

This isn't about forcing positivity or making grand gestures. Instead, discover how understanding your brain's natural patterns can help you develop genuine gratitude - one small moment at a time.
