The Gratitude Podcast - Stories That Inspire Positive Thinking & Gratitude

Sissi Goh calls herself a romantic realist, she's an Executive Wealth Consultant and award winning Author of Wealth Management Isn't Just For the Rich co-authored by NY Times best selling author Raymond Aaron. Sissi shares with us a perspective that I think is very powerful, yet very few of us put it in practice.  We have lots of flaws as humans, we make mistakes, some small, some big, but they don't define us and they don't make our strengths less important.  Tune in to hear Sissi Goh's perspective.

Ever felt like the ones closest to you are also the most annoying somehow? :)  Bet you're not the only one.  Let's see why that is and how we can turn it around.  Mosaic Weighted Blankets offer FREE SHIPPING (on UPS ground for orders over $149.95) here: http://bit.ly/MosaicWeighted "I love this blanket! Before I got this blanket, I would toss and turn so violently, that I would wake myself up several times throughout the night. I've had my blanket for about two weeks now and I don't wake up at all anymore due to tossing and turning! I was concerned that the blanket would be hot to sleep with, but it's actually been the opposite. The blanket is made with pockets of beads and stuffing, like you'd find in a beanie baby. So the beads move around and shift with gravity so there actually can be plenty of air flow. But all in all I love my new blanket! Thank you for a much better and more restful sleep!" - Sara M. a happy verified buyer of Laura's product Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

We're not perfect, life can get messy at times, but when we seen perfect people in the commercials, we tend to compare that with our "mess".  We might not be aware that we're doing this, but we are.  Let's see how we can change this, so that we will feel more gratitude, instead of feeling down.   Mosaic Weighted Blankets offer FREE SHIPPING (on UPS ground for orders over $149.95) here: http://bit.ly/MosaicWeighted Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

Laura LeMond is the owner and co-founder of Mosaic Weighted Blankets. After years of trying to identify a solution to calm her system, in 2010 she began to discuss with her girlfriends a way to help herself and others to feel less anxious and enjoy life more. The weighted blankets relieve us of anxiety by providing a womb sensation through adding even pressure across the body. It’s an amazing technology that we'll explore today, with many happy users. Laura LeMond shared with us: - the importance of sleep architecture in overcoming stress, depression & anxiety - a detailed approach on the different challenges we have as humans when it comes to sleep, at certain stages in our development - her own story of how the weighted blankets have changed her and her family’s life You can order your weighted blanket with FREE SHIPPING ON UPS GROUND FOR ORDERS OVER $149.95 here: http://bit.ly/MosaicWeighted Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support

We're busy, we have responsibilities, people depend on us and we have to react right then and there to some situations.  These things are important, but when we got a good piece of news or something good happens and we get back to the "important" things, we miss out on a lot of joy. Take this time to remember some of your recent blessings and rejoice! :) Become a supporter of this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-gratitude-podcast/support
