The most effective gratitude practice - Andrew Huberman

As a nurse, it always makes me feel good when a patient thanks me for my care. Good to know.

[@Josh-up8qm]

It really does. I had an older black lady who was a nurse yesterday and she told me I was a great nurse and as a new grad it was amazing to hear

[@rachaelvaccaro3420]

I’m a nurse and I often receive gratitude from patients and families, it really makes my job worth it!

[@negtype13]

Same here only where I am, most days, it’s a thankless job so when you truly receive, you’re absolutely correct, it’s beyond worth it!🤩💜

[@marly1869]

Me too.. it fills my heart when a patient or anyone in my life is genuinely grateful.. 🥰🙏🏼✨💜

[@gemmadidit4118]

I thank myself today for things I did yesterday. It gives me great satisfaction when I pull a meal out of the freezer that I prepared a while back...and it's DELICIOUS! Waiting for someone else to love me right, gives too much power away. When I act with kindness to someone else, it's because that's who I am, not for what I expect in return.

[@gemmadidit4118]

Oh darling 🥺... have I told you that I love you lately?💕💋🥰😁

[@margaretclitherow7313]

Thank you for reminding me to thank myself for the efforts I’ve made to get me where I am now. Even when things are tough, if I hadn’t taken the time to care for myself - even in small ways - as things fell apart around me, things would be much, much tougher. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[@jenifernadeau]

I love your idea! That's awesome .. I'm going to do that too.. thank you 🙏 Since we are all energy frequency and vibration, when you love yourself "right", people magically show up and do the same thing... It's law of Attraction 😉

I’m a nurse, and I give 110% to my job, I work with the elderly, in hospice, dementia, and all end stage diseases. Families and patients expression of gratitude makes it worth it. My supervisors and coworkers expression of gratitude makes it easier to show up everyday. I just returned to work after 2 weeks off, one patient was quite ill, his wife was on the phone with their daughter, and the first thing she said, ‘Jamie’s back’ with the biggest smile and confidence. It made my heart happy. Them my confused ill patient expressed his gratitude of his family, which he included me in. Being gone for 2 weeks makes me understand how much they really appreciate me. I did have to promise to go thru vacation pictures on a different night. Everyone understood. Great post here. It resonates with me in a time of depression (I believe a chemical depression bc I do not have any reason to be depressed) and I’m working on creating a different thought pattern. Oddly enough this came up while I searched something completely different. Lol

I am a student nurse and I had a family member of a patient who wasn't even mine stop me and thank myself and my classmates who were with me for doing what we do. It nearly brought us all to tears. We get so caught up in trying to get good grades and just make it through school and feeling like the dumbest person in the room at clinicals that we forget that what we do even as students matters.

Yess! receiving gratitude can indeed have a powerful impact. It not only acknowledges your contributions but also strengthens positive connections and can lead to a more positive and fulfilling experience 🥰💓

[@WhatsNextAmy]

I try to always say thank you, and I appreciate you. Even just at a checkout. I also say it to myself/ universe when things happen through the day. Something as trivial as catching a light or even getting one. Seeing something random and beautiful. Always be thankful. Thank you!❤

[@Celena2224]

Well I thank you my dear Andrew Huberman! You have helped me in so many ways with your videos. Your humble nature is refreshing and healing❤️

I’ve always just been the kind of person to give gratitude and thanks for what I have and what I can do for my friends and I love the way I feel when I have help someone else so I’d agree with this because I’m a happy person for the most part even though I lost my husband and two brothers and a sister and my best friend within a little over three years and I’m still blessed

As soon as your body connects with the feeling of something high vibrational, it brings more high vibrational things to it... The most powerful way you can shift your life is through your thoughts

[@spacebar9733]

Try doing more for others.

[@TheFaarf]

I strongly believe you can. There is always something to be thankful for. regardless how small it is. Waking up, sunset/sunrise, food everyday etc. I have no clue what you're going through but, even if life treats you bad, dont blame it on life. Even if everything around you is misery, try to have peace within you. Your thoughts are powerful. What you think translates to how you feel. Do you feel bad? You're thinking bad. Do you feel sad and hopeless? You're thinking sad and hopeless. I am not saying that you're solely responsible for all your bad feelings. Of course not, bad things happen to us. But, you can change those feelings when they come up.

[@jacquelinelewis3131]

This is a fantastic way to get into the feeling. Well done ❤

[@kiro798]

Wow! That is powerful and that is the first time I have heard of a receiving gratitude practice but I tried it just now and it did fill me with a lot of good energy. And I can feel the increase in motivation immediately. Thank you

[@SD99722]

That makes sense cuz when I think of a toddler or young child beaming after doing a favor for a parent or teacher ect. & The parent shows genuine gratitude, the child receives the feeling of gratitude. Hard for me to put into words but I'd imagine that would be an example of what he's describing in the video.

Thank you!!! It's right on point :) I've just made the connection how in Indonesian (my native language) we say "terima kasih" which means "(I) receive love". The same as in Malay. In any case, I guess we got it quite right! Never thought of it this way.

[@MrPink-ql8rd]

Yeah I practice gratitude both ways.. the best way to practice this type of gratitude is to be helpful to others and practicing generosity.. want to know what it feels like receiving gratitude? Be worthy of it.. in 12 step programs the basic daily practice of being helpful and being of service is what keeps people sober and moving forward. The first 12 step program was created by men who spent their entire lives (from the day they stopped drinking) actively trying to help others get sober by teaching them to help others.. lots of gratitude constantly being received.. its very true that this type of gratitude practice is extraordinarily powerful

And the reverse is also true. Huge negative shift when someone doesn't show gratitude to that person for that person doing something helpful. So the person not receiving gratitude is a bad emotional experience. Give meaningful thanks to those who deserve it so they can receive it.

[@raymondkymsuttle]

I’m very happy to do things for others that make them happy but I don’t agree with the sentiment here. It’s enough when someone just says ‘thanks’ (I’ll admit to being annoyed if they don’t say this basic thing) but excessive gratitude from someone just gets annoying. I wouldn’t have helped if I didn’t want to. I’m always grateful for the OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SOMEONE. I get far more satisfaction from being able to express gratitude than from receiving it.

[@doraendre8211]

Sounds absolutely right. However, most people tend not to express thankfulness. So relying on that would probably a mistake. We can have control over our perspective on things though, and appreciate what we have.

[@ericalynnjoseph]

Learning how to receive gratitude, I guess is just as important as learning how to give it. Sometimes there may be subtle feelings of fear or worry that come up with gratitude. For example, I have concerns that showing too much gratitude for someone might somehow make them feel like I don't value myself enough, which isn't the case. When I've shown others appreciation before, sometimes the other person acted surprised or uncomfortable. But genuine compliments are not an attempt at manipulating someone into doing something they don't want to do. Nor are they necessarily an invitation into something deeper. Sometimes they're just friendly gestures. It's about boundaries and finding balance

Dear Andrew, i love your podcasts (normally I listen to the longer ones) but just listened to this short snippet.a query: what good does the insistent background music do, to my listening and understanding? It's Very prevelent on the web and usually i just stop listening. (One of my most loved treasures on the planet is music. Western classical, North and South Indian classical, Indonesian in its many variations, some jazz, some rock and many more forms. It's a food.... Why disturb the listening to the voice and it's meaning with a competitive input?? I'm sure you will have interesting thoughts on that one! Thank you so much for your amazingly interesting, clearly explained "lectures" they are so valuable to me (and surely to many others!)
