Gratitude isn’t meant to be a performance - or something you use to override what actually hurts.In this episode, I explore why forced positivity and gratitude lists often create more pressure than peace, and how somatic (felt) gratitude works differently in the nervous system.We talk about:why your body doesn’t respond to pressurehow gratitude turns into bypassing without us realisingand how real gratitude can exist alongside grief, stress and exhaustionThere’s also a short guided somatic gratitude practice you can return to anytime.This is the same lens I use in my 1:1 resilience coaching (book a free intro call here) and in The Resilience Blueprint (£27). Make sure you're on the list for the 8th Jan Session on Why Your Nervous System Decides What You Can Manifest here.Find me on Instagram @alexresiliencecoach and tune in on New Year’s Day for the episode on nervous-system-led manifestation.Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/paul-yudin/breaking-ideasLicense code: 6NHMOGUA1OQR97OC
