00:00:12.940 --> 00:00:13.774
Can practicing

00:00:13.774 --> 00:00:16.775
gratitude shape your perspective on money?

00:00:17.142 --> 00:00:18.776
We certainly think so.

00:00:18.776 --> 00:00:24.313
In this video, we'll explore
three ways gratitude can transform

00:00:24.546 --> 00:00:26.381
your money mindset.

00:00:26.381 --> 00:00:30.983
First, embracing gratitude can help
you make smarter

00:00:30.983 --> 00:00:34.485
financial decisions
when you appreciate the wealth

00:00:34.485 --> 00:00:37.553
in financial security
you've already achieved.

00:00:37.887 --> 00:00:42.256
You can be less tempted to make impulsive
investments or purchases.

00:00:42.823 --> 00:00:45.891
Second, practicing gratitude can also

00:00:45.958 --> 00:00:48.960
help reduce financial anxiety.

00:00:48.993 --> 00:00:50.260
When it comes to money,

00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:53.262
we often fixate on the future.

00:00:53.595 --> 00:00:57.331
While we're big proponents
of financial planning for the future,

00:00:57.631 --> 00:01:00.833
it's important to stop and smell
the roses.

00:01:01.433 --> 00:01:04.268
Be present and recognize

00:01:04.268 --> 00:01:07.269
where you're at and how far you've come.

00:01:07.836 --> 00:01:11.005
Third,
gratitude can impact your willingness

00:01:11.005 --> 00:01:15.007
to give when you fully
appreciate your own abundance.

00:01:15.240 --> 00:01:19.309
You develop a heightened sense of empathy
and responsibility

00:01:19.343 --> 00:01:22.078
towards those who are less fortunate.

00:01:22.078 --> 00:01:25.479
So what are some ways
you can start practicing gratitude?

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:27.414
Here are a few we recommend.

00:01:27.414 --> 00:01:31.183
First, practice gratitude affirmations.

00:01:31.483 --> 00:01:36.419
Develop a routine of speaking or thinking
positive of statements

00:01:36.585 --> 00:01:40.087
about the blessings in your life,
such as I'm thankful

00:01:40.221 --> 00:01:42.188
for the financial stability I have,

00:01:42.188 --> 00:01:45.891
or I appreciate the opportunities
I've been given.

00:01:46.424 --> 00:01:49.926
This reinforces a mindset of abundance

00:01:50.126 --> 00:01:53.128
and keeps you grounded in the present.

00:01:53.395 --> 00:01:56.696
Next, recall past challenges

00:01:57.163 --> 00:02:00.165
by acknowledging the hardships you faced

00:02:00.332 --> 00:02:03.267
and recognizing your progress.

00:02:03.267 --> 00:02:07.069
You'll build a rich foundation
for being thankful.

00:02:07.769 --> 00:02:11.571
Finally, seek opportunities to volunteer.

00:02:11.938 --> 00:02:15.106
Giving back can foster an appreciation

00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.910
for easily overlooked aspects of life
and enhance your capability for gratitude.

00:02:22.110 --> 00:02:22.811
Embracing

00:02:22.811 --> 00:02:25.812
gratitude can help shift
your financial mindset

00:02:26.012 --> 00:02:29.914
and lead to a more fulfilling
relationship with money.

00:02:30.415 --> 00:02:32.383
So take a deep breath.

00:02:32.383 --> 00:02:34.817
Be grateful for what you have

00:02:34.817 --> 00:02:37.819
and watch your mindset shift.

00:02:38.252 --> 00:02:40.320
