99. How Can Grateful Living Transform Your Life? with Kristi Nelson

Electric Ideas with Whitney Baker

Ever wondered how your life could improve by embracing gratitude more wholeheartedly? In this week's episode, Whitney's guest, Kristi Nelson, delves into the profound notion of living with a grateful mindset. As a stage IV cancer survivor and the author of "Wake Up Grateful: The Transformative Practice of Taking Nothing for Granted," Kristi shares her insights on the five touchstones of grateful living and their potential to reshape our outlook on life.

Together, they explore the idea that life itself is a gift, every moment is a surprise, the ordinary holds extraordinary value, appreciation fuels positivity, and the transformative power of love. Kristi's wisdom and experiences provide a clear roadmap for anyone looking to cultivate a more grateful and fulfilling life. Tune in to gain valuable insights on transforming your perspective through gratitude.

Here’s what to look forward to in today’s episode:

• Kristi dives into her five principles for grateful living

• Connecting with others by asking: what surprised you today? How are you different today than you were yesterday?

• Exploring what life is like by remembering all these ordinary things that support us are actually extraordinary

• How life changes when you stop taking things for granted and see the gifts you’ve been given

• Women are so good at friending! What would it look like to really be a good friend to yourself today?

• Kristi shares the powerful reminder of all of the things “I get to” does/reminds/gives us

• One question women could be asking themselves more: If I could show up more gratefully-honestly-lovingly-vulnerably right now, what would that look like?
