Most High Performers Are Getting Gratitude Dead Wrong.
"Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others." — Cicero
Let me guess: You think gratitude is for yoga retreats and vision boards.
Wrong.
Gratitude is a neurochemical weapon. And if you're not using it, you're leaving your best performance on the table.
Here's what's really happening: You wake up Monday morning and your brain is already flooded with cortisol. You're in fight-or-flight before your eyes are fully open. Scattered. Reactive. Running on fumes disguised as coffee.
Meanwhile, the sharpest performers in the world are doing something different in those first 10 seconds. They're triggering dopamine and serotonin on command. They're flipping their nervous system from survival to strategy. And they're doing it with a practice so simple you'll kick yourself for not knowing it sooner.
In this episode, you'll learn:
