15: How gratitude shapes our lives with Veronica Brejan
Happy special Christmas episode! As we are approaching Holiday times, we might experience a combination of challenges and opportunities to be grateful. How do we integrate the two? How can gratitude change our lives for the better? How to practice it in an authentic way? Veronica Brejan has a story of burnout. Coming from a corporate environment, she has a history of working so hard that her whole body was in pain. When you are in that state, she says, it can feel impossible to start a meditation practice. What did she do instead? She practiced gratitude for 1 minute/say. That led to a journey that shifted her life completely. Now she is coaching entrepreneurs and business people to integrate mindfulness and leadership.
