Alison Katshschkowsky, host of popular Health and Fitness podcast, voices her belief in the importance of self-awareness in anyone’s overall wellness plan. She and Deborah Hawkins have a lively conversation on how creating and maintaining a gratitude practice based on self-awareness can boost confidence and raise one’s mood. They talk about the benefits of practicing being in the present moment and asking yourself good questions in order to understand how you think and feel. Per Deborah’s “intentional” approach to gratitude, this alone can help a person make more empowered choices and enhance one’s mental health.
