Gratitude v.s. Positivity

Podcast - The Daily Edge

Gratitude is different from positivity. In this episode of the GMS Podcast, Raul and Vivian give their definition of what the difference is between positivity and gratitude. Gratitude is a part of your brain that needs to be exercised. You can do this by taking a moment every day to journal what you have and what you’re grateful for. Another way to do this is to volunteer and help other people who have less than you.

Positivity can mask a lot of emotions. It’s only on the outside, so you put on a brave face or you tell yourself that everything will work out later, but you aren’t doing the inner work that it takes to appreciate what you have. So positivity always runs out. The inner work starts when you focus on yourself what what you can change.
