Gratitude Is the Gateway to Joy: How to Live in Thankfulness Every Day
When life feels heavy or uncertain, gratitude can become the anchor that steadies you. In this heartfelt Thanksgiving episode of The Rising Podcast, Janel shares how to turn thankfulness into a daily practice — one that grounds you, lifts your spirit, and helps you rise above life’s challenges with peace and perspective.
She reminds us that gratitude isn’t reserved for perfect seasons or holidays — it’s an elevated state of being that we can return to, even in the midst of grief, busyness, or change.
Learn how to:
✨ Shift from surface-level thankfulness to true, felt gratitude
✨ Recognize “micro moments” of joy throughout your day
✨ Start and end your day anchored in appreciation
✨ Keep a gratitude journal or voice note to track what matters most
✨ See your current life as worthy of love — just as it is
This heart-centered episode will help you slow down, savor the present, and rediscover beauty in the small things. Gratitude changes your energy, your focus, and your life.
Pause, breathe, and give thanks — not just today, but every day. 🌿
