16
Now to today's episode, let's be honest.
17
When life isn't where you want it to be, the word gratitude can feel fake.
18
You know you should be thankful, but you look at your bank account, your job, your relationship status, and it just feels hollow.
19
Especially when someone comes up to you and says something like, be grateful for what you have.
20
You should be thankful.
21
You should be grateful.
22
But sometimes that feels like being told to smile while everything falls apart.
23
Today, I'm going to share with you practical, thoughtful, powerful steps to actually help you understand gratitude and implement it,
24
especially when you don't feel like it.
25
Not the forced kind, the kind that reconnects you to yourself, the kind that helps you breathe again.
26
And the reason is, one of my favorite quotes that I read a long time ago says, when you're grateful for what you have,
27
you receive more to be grateful for.
28
What's also true is when you're grateful for what you have, when you have more, you'll be able to be grateful.
29
Our mind tricks us into believing that when I have more, then I'll be thankful.
30
When I get that promotion, then I'll be grateful.
31
When my life shifts in this way, then I can appreciate it.
32
Not realizing that what we're living today was yesterday's dream.
33
Where we are right now is what we prayed for two years ago.
34
What you're achieving and receiving today is something you never even imagined.
35
But now that you have it and it feels familiar, it breaks it down.
36
Number one, separate gratitude from denial.
37
You don't have to pretend everything's okay to be grateful.
38
True gratitude isn't saying it's fine.
39
It's saying even though it's not fine, there's still something worth noticing.
40
It's not saying I'm going to pretend to avoid all the difficult things.
41
I'm going to pretend to avoid all the negative things.
42
And I'm just going to act like everything's perfect.
43
That's lying to yourself.
44
That's toxic positivity.
45
The science says, people who acknowledge their struggles and gratitude experience higher resilience and lower depression than those who fake positivity.
46
That's mind -blowing.
47
Think about that for a second.
48
You actually saying, hey, this is not working out in my life, but I'm really grateful for this friend, not as a counterbalance, right?
49
You're not trying to make it equal.
50
You're simply saying, I see both of these things in reality.
51
I see that my career isn't going the way I want, but I'm really grateful that I have a great group of friends,
52
that's going to reduce your depression.
53
Most of us learned gratitude as a kind of emotional cover -up.
54
When things go wrong, people say, just be grateful.
55
But that advice can land like a slap when you're hurting.
56
Because gratitude was never meant to erase your pain.
57
It was meant to sit beside it.
58
Let me say that again.
59
Gratitude was never meant to erase your pain.
60
It was meant to sit beside it.
61
Separating gratitude from denial means giving yourself permission to be both honest and hopeful.
62
People don't talk about how annoying it is when someone says, just be grateful.
63
You can be thankful and tired.
64
You can appreciate what's good without pretending everything is good.
65
When we use gratitude to suppress how we feel, it becomes toxic.
66
It disconnects us from our own truth.
67
But when we let it coexist with pain, it becomes healing.
68
Psychologists call this emotional granularity, the ability to hold complex emotions at once.
69
Studies show people who can acknowledge both joy and sorrow are more resilient, less anxious, and bounce back faster from setbacks.
70
Gratitude isn't about pretending the storm isn't there.
71
It's standing in the rain and still being able to say, even now.
72
Something in me is alive, learning, becoming.
73
That's not denial.
74
That's awakening.
75
And learn to say both truths out loud.
76
Start your gratitude sentences with, even though, so for example, even though I feel lonely,
77
I'm grateful I still have people who care.
78
Even though work is stressful, I'm grateful I'm learning new skills.
79
It trains your mind to hold two realities at once, pain and perspective.
80
That's balance, not denial.
81
What we tend to do is do one or the other.
82
We tend to focus on everything that's going wrong.
83
We've all been there.
84
Or we tend to focus on everything that's going right.
85
And then what happens?
86
When you fake that everything's going right, all it takes is one little thing to trip you up.
87
And when you believe everything's going wrong, will you just keep digging a deeper hole for yourself?
88
Please start looking at your life and your world, not as equal, not as perfectly balanced,
89
but being able to notice the challenges and being able to notice the growth.
90
Life isn't about what happens to you.
91
It's about what you notice that is happening to you.
92
And so many of us only choose to notice the negative,
93
difficult, challenging things, and we miss out and forget the beautiful, powerful, incredible things.
94
Step number two, stop using gratitude to shut down emotion.
95
If you catch yourself saying, I shouldn't feel sad, other people have it worse, pause.
96
That's not gratitude.
97
That's guilt in disguise.
98
Instead, say, I can feel sad and still appreciate what I have.
99
You're not disqualifying your feelings, you're integrating them.
100
I think what's really interesting about that point is a lot of us almost feel like we're not allowed to feel sad.
101
We don't think we have the permission to be sad.
102
Now, the truth is everyone will generally find someone who's worse off than them,
103
but it's not about comparing your pain because then you're not allowing it to live there.
104
You're not allowing it to float through you and process it.
105
So here's what I want you to try.
106
Write what's hard and then what's here.
107
In your journal or even in a notes app, draw two columns.
108
The left side, what's hard right now?
109
The right side, what's still good right now?
110
When you can see both on the same page, your brain learns that gratitude doesn't erase struggle.
111
It coexists with it.
112
And this has been a game changer in my life because we constantly think, wait, I shouldn't feel this emotion.
113
And when you feel you shouldn't feel an emotion, you now start to feel guilt and shame.
114
And when guilt and shame take over, we get into a really dark and difficult place.
115
I also want you to try this.
116
Replace at least with and.
117
We often say things like, at least I still have a job.
118
That phrase minimizes your feelings.
119
Try saying this instead.
120
This is hard and I'm grateful I still have a job.
121
That simple word and instead of at least keeps your experience whole.
122
The other principle inside of this is feel it, don't force it.
123
If you can't feel grateful, don't fake it.
124
Start smaller.
125
Notice one thing that doesn't hurt today.
126
A warm shower, breathing your favorite song.
127
Gratitude isn't a performance its presence.
128
When you stop using gratitude as a mask and start using it as medicine, it doesn't numb you, it nourishes you.
129
You stop pretending your life is perfect and start realizing it's real.
130
Way number two is start with what stayed.
131
When life falls apart, focus on what remained.
132
We usually focus on everything that was lost, changed or disappeared.
133
But ask yourself, who checked on you?
134
What part of yourself showed up when everything else fell away?
135
When life falls apart, our minds go straight to what's missing.
136
The job we lost, the person who left, the dream that didn't happen.
137
We replay it, analyze it, try to understand it.
138
But rarely do we stop and ask, what stayed?
139
Because even when everything changes, something always remains.
140
Maybe it's your best friend who still picks up the phone.
141
Maybe it's your morning walk, your sense of humor, your faith, or the strength you didn't know you had.
142
Gratitude doesn't mean ignoring the loss.
143
It means anchoring yourself to what's still here.
144
When you start with what stayed, you remind yourself that not everything was taken from you.
145
Every time you lose something, life is also showing you something that stayed.
146
What can't be taken?
147
What's real?
148
And when you focus on that, you stop feeling like you're rebuilding from zero.
149
Because you're not.
150
You're rebuilding from truth.
151
The strongest people aren't the ones who never lost anything.
152
They're the ones who recognize what stayed, who noticed what remained,
153
who see who is still around when everyone left them because they recognize that this was all they ever had anyway.
154
Try this.
155
Write down three things that didn't leave you this year.
156
A friend, a habit, a value.
157
Whatever it may be, That list is your real foundation.
158
Step number three, gratitude through contrast.
159
You don't need to be grateful for what's perfect, just grateful for what's better than before.
160
We spend so much of our lives looking sideways, scrolling, comparing, measuring ourselves against everyone else's highlight reel.
161
Gratitude doesn't grow when you look at others.
162
It grows when you look back at yourself because comparison to others triggers envy and scarcity.
163
But comparison to your past self reveals evidence of growth.
164
You see how far you've actually come, not how far ahead other people are.
165
Think about it when you're climbing a mountain, climbing a hill.
166
If you're on a hike and you're constantly looking at the people who are ahead of you, you feel despondent, you feel disappointed,
167
you feel harsh on yourself.
168
You might have that inner critic.
169
But if you turn and look back at how far you've come, you feel inspired and motivated.
170
Stop comparing yourself to other people.
171
If you're going to compare yourself, only compare yourself to a past version of yourself.
172
When you compare yourself to others, it distracts you.
173
When you compare yourself to where you were, it motivates you.
174
Think about this.
175
The things you take for granted right now were once things you prayed for.
176
The calm you feel today used to be chaos.
177
The strength you have now was once survival mode.
178
When you compare you to you, gratitude becomes self -compassion, not competition.
179
So the next time you catch yourself thinking you're behind, ask a different question.
180
Am I further along than I was?
181
If the answer is yes, even slightly, that's something to thank yourself for.
182
Gratitude isn't about being ahead of anyone.
183
It's about recognizing you're not who you used to be.
184
You don't need a new life to feel grateful, just a new lens to see how far you've come.
185
Ray Dalio once said to me, pain plus reflection equals progress.
186
That's resilience.
187
Reflecting on your pain.
188
You've been through so much.
189
You have been through so much.
190
You've done so many difficult things.
191
When you recognize and reflect on them, you get more energy for future challenges.
192
If you compare yourself to everyone else's timeline, you will always feel behind.
193
If you compare yourself to where you were, you will always feel ahead.
194
Stop comparing yourself to people who have their own pace.
195
If you keep comparing your life to someone else's, you'll start doubting blessings you once prayed for.
196
Everyone's ahead in something and behind in something else.
197
Comparison makes you chase timelines that were never meant for you.
198
You don't need to catch up.
199
You need to come back to your own pace, your own story, your own timing.
200
The truth is most people aren't doing better than you.
201
They're just posting faster.
202
Step four is called micro -gratitude, the 10 -second pause.
203
Forget journaling pages of gratitude lists.
204
Throughout your day, take 10 seconds to say, something good is happening right now.
205
The coffee aroma, the sound of laughter, the sunlight through your window.
206
Neurologically, this rewires your amygdala, the brain's fear center, to recognize safety cues.
207
That's how gratitude calms anxiety in real time.
208
And then feel it in your body, not just in your head.
209
Thinking about gratitude doesn't change you.
210
Feeling it does.
211
When you recall a moment you're thankful for, breathe and notice where you feel it.
212
Warmth in your chest, softness in your jaw, ease in your shoulders.
213
Harvard research shows that embodied gratitude triggers oxytocin release, the connection hormone.
214
It's like giving your nervous system a hug.
215
Then reframe the waiting season.
216
When your life isn't where you want it to be, it's easy to resent waiting.
217
But the truth is, growth seasons, rarely look glamorous.
218
This changed my life when I learned it.
219
Bamboo spends five years growing roots underground before it breaks the surface.
220
You're not behind, you're building underneath.
221
Gratitude in this phase means thanking the roots, not the flowers.
222
When you're in a waiting season, it feels like everyone else is moving, getting promoted, falling in love,
223
figuring it out, while you're stuck refreshing the same page of your life.
224
You start to wonder if you've done something wrong, if the universe forgot about you, or if the dream you're chasing even exists.
225
But the truth is, waiting seasons aren't wasted.
226
They're preparing.
227
Every seed spends time underground before it sees light.
228
The bamboo plant spends years growing invisible roots before it shoots up 90 feet in a matter of weeks.
229
If you judged it during the waiting, you'd think nothing was happening, but everything was.
230
The same is true for you.
231
The waiting season is where your roots deepen, your patience, your humility, your trust, your character.
232
What looks like delay is often design.
233
It's usually growth in a different direction.
234
Let me give you an example.
235
No one ever walks into a building and says, I love the foundation of this building.
236
People like the colors, the aesthetics, everything else.
237
But without the foundation, the building doesn't even exist.
238
So instead of asking why isn't it happening yet, try asking who am I becoming while I wait?
239
Because one day the doors will open
240
and the person you've become in the choir will be the reason you're ready to walk through them.
241
Please don't feel behind because you think someone else is ahead.
242
You're not in the same race.
243
You're not even running on the same track.
244
Their pace has nothing to do with your purpose.
245
The truth is, nobody's really ahead.
246
They're just in a different chapter, learning a different lesson.
247
Maybe theirs is about arrival and yours is about becoming.
248
Maybe they got what they wanted, but you're learning what actually matters.
249
Every path has its own timing.
250
Some people bloom in their 20s, others in their 40s.
251
Some find love early.
252
Others find themselves first.
253
Life doesn't reward the fastest, It rewards the most faithful.
254
Step number seven, borrow gratitude when you can't find your own.
255
If you can't feel grateful for your own life, witness someone else's joy.
256
Watch a kid play, an old couple laugh, a friend achieve something, and let yourself smile for them.
257
Research from Emory University found that observing someone else's gratitude activates the same brain regions as feeling it yourself.
258
Gratitude is contagious.
259
Sometimes you just need to borrow it.
260
When you're in a season of envy, when everyone else's joy feels like a reminder of what you don't have,
261
that's exactly when borrowing gratitude matters the most.
262
It sounds strange, but gratitude isn't always something you feel.
263
Sometimes it's something you witness.
264
When your heart can't access gratitude, start by noticing someone else's joy without judgment.
265
Watch a child laugh uncontrollably, a friend get engaged, a stranger dance like nobody's watching.
266
Instead of tightening with envy, whisper quietly to yourself, that's beautiful.
267
You don't need to feel it for you yet.
268
Just let yourself feel it for them.
269
Next, turn envy into information.
270
Ask, what does their happiness show me about what I truly desire?
271
Envy isn't proof you're ungrateful.
272
It's a compass pointing towards something meaningful.
273
Once you name what that is, love, recognition, freedom, purpose, you can begin to thank life for showing you what you value.
274
And finally, practice proxy gratitude.
275
When you can't say, I'm happy for me, say, I'm happy for them.
276
Over time, that emotion builds emotional muscle memory the more you celebrate others' blessings, the less your own heart stays closed.
277
Because joy isn't a limited resource.
278
It's a shared current.
279
When you borrow someone else's gratitude, you're not stealing it.
280
You're learning how to feel again.
281
Being happy for someone when you're winning is easy.
282
Your cup is full, your confidence is steady, and their success feels like a reflection of abundance.
283
But being happy for someone when you're losing, that's the real test.
284
That's when envy whispers that life is unfair, that their moment somehow took yours.
285
But here's the truth.
286
their light doesn't dim yours.
287
It just reveals where your wounds still want healing.
288
Being happy for someone when you're losing isn't about pretending you're fine.
289
It's about saying I'm proud of them even while I'm hurting.
290
That's emotional maturity.
291
That's strength.
292
Step number eight, thank the version of you that survived.
293
Write a thank you note to your past self, the one who kept going when it was hard.
294
Neuroscientists call this the self -compassion recall.
295
It activates the medial prefrontal cortex, increasing emotional regulation and self -worth.
296
We spend so much time trying to move on from our past
297
that we forget to thank the person who got us through it.
298
The version of you who stayed up all night worrying, but still showed up to work.
299
The one who loved people who didn't love back.
300
The one who held everything together when no one noticed.
301
That version wasn't perfect, but they were powerful.
302
Without them, you wouldn't be here.
303
Thanking the version of you who survived isn't self -indulgence.
304
It's self -respect.
305
It's saying you did the best you could with what you had.
306
And that was enough.
307
Most of us skip this step.
308
We rush to become wiser, calmer, more healed but it means bringing it with you.
309
The you who endured is the foundation of the you who's evolving.
310
Thank the version of you who survived.
311
The one who held it together when everything felt like it was falling apart.
312
The one who got out of bed when they didn't want to.
313
Who went to work with a broken heart.
314
Thank the version of you who didn't have the answers but kept going anyway who made decisions they weren't proud of,
315
but did the best they could with what they knew, who stayed kind even when life wasn't.
316
You don't have to hate who you were just because you've grown.
317
That version of you wasn't weak.
318
They were doing what it took to survive.
319
You don't owe them judgment.
320
You owe them gratitude.
321
Because without them, you wouldn't be here, trying again, healing, rebuilding, becoming.
322
I truly hope this episode inspires you with gratitude so that you can truly find meaning in your life, create more memories to be grateful for,
323
and share gratitude with anyone and everyone.
324
Choose one person personally and one person professionally for the next seven days to share gratitude with.
325
Don't keep it in a journal or a book or a page, go and share it with real people and watch how your life changes.
326
Thanks so much for listening today.
327
I love spending this time for you.
328
And remember, I'm forever in your corner and always rooting for you.
329
Take care.
330
If you love this episode,
331
you'll really enjoy my episode with Selena Gomez on befriending your inner critic and how to speak to yourself with more compassion.
332
My fears are only going to continue to show me what I'm capable of.
333
The more that I face my fears, the more that I feel I'm gaining strength, I'm gaining wisdom, and I just want to keep doing that.

- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, compassion /kəmˈpæʃ.ən/, reflection /ɹɪˈflɛkʃən/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, recognition /ˌɹɛkəɡˈnɪʃ(ə)n/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: resilience /ɹɪˈzɪl.ɪ.əns/, recognition /ˌɹɛkəɡˈnɪʃ(ə)n/, anxiety /æŋˈzaɪ.əti/, disappointed /ˌdɪsəˈpɔɪnɪd/, regulation /ˌɹɛɡjʊˈleɪʃən/

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
