  Speaker 1: That's the art of appreciation, which we've been delving into all week.

  Speaker 1: You know, in my years of practice I've noticed something fascinating those who master the art of appreciation aren't just happier people, they're more resilient people, they're really able to bounce back faster, they're usually more successful and, most importantly, they're more fulfilled.

  Speaker 1: They're just generally content individuals.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: But here's the thing about appreciation it's not just about saying thank you, it's about developing what I call an appreciation awareness Training your mind to notice the extraordinary in the ordinary, to pick up the subtleties in little things and see the magnificence in them.

  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Let me share something simple but powerful.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I call it the 3-3-3 appreciation ritual that I practice with my clients.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I challenge them for three times a day, take three deep breaths and notice three things you appreciate in that moment.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: It could be anything.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It could be something as simple as the comfort of your favorite chair, or as profound as the love of your family.

  Speaker 1: The key is to really feel the appreciation and let it wash over your mind.

  Speaker 1: And let it wash over your mind.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: You see, when we combine appreciation with an intentional self-care, something magical happens.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: We create what I call a wellness loop.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The more we appreciate, the better we feel.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: It's a crazy cycle.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: The brain seems to have a loop that enjoys appreciating things to help it feel better.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And the better we feel, the more we notice we appreciate.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: It's so crazy how that works.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And remember this self-care is never selfish.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's sacred.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: In fact, it's sacred.
