122: How Gratitude Can Help Ease Depression with Deborah Hawkins

Published: March 21, 2022, 9 a.m.

I had such a fantastic time connecting with Deborah during this interview!  Thank you, Deborah, for your honesty, insight, bravery and friendship!

In this episode, Deborah teaches us the application of mindfulness and exploration of personal gratitude  so that they can all live happier lives.

Two of my favourite Deborah quotes are "Intentional Gratitude is about learning how to identify what you can appreciate in whatever life presents to you." and "You CAN choose feeling good."

Meet Deborah

Deborah Hawkins has been blogging on gratitude and mindfulness since 2010, posting over 500 reflections on everyday experiences that have elevated her mood and tips on how to keep gratitude "top of mind."
Her two books, "The Best of No Small Thing – Mindful Meditations" and "Practice Gratitude: Transform Your Life — Making the Uplifting Experience of Gratitude Intentional," along with her zoom-enabled class, "Helium for Your Heart: Elevate Your Outlook With Intentional Gratitude" demonstrate a fresh approach to a gratitude practice that is fun, authentic, and confidence-boosting.
In her early fifties, she started writing reflections on everyday experiences that she could appreciate as a way to lift herself out of depression. Now, she wants to teach people how to develop their own personal gratitude themes so they can live happier lives.
