“Basically the more grateful you are, the less stressed you are. You cannot be grateful and stressed at the same time. You cannot be grateful and afraid at the same time. You cannot be grateful and angry at the same time. So if you just want to not be any of those bad things, just focus on being grateful rather than not being whatever. It's like when you tell somebody relax when they're really pissed off, guess what? They don't really relax very well. So telling somebody to not be angry or not be stressed doesn't work. But telling, but getting somebody to shift their focus to being grateful works actually really well.”
