Attitude Of Gratitude
00:02:20

|
| How do we respond on the stress that we carry on day-to-day basis? | |
| Well, again, it's just practicing these, practicing that attitude of gratitude, just staying in that attitude of thanksgiving. | |
| And, you know, praying in the spirit is wonderful. | |
| Everyone should be praying in the spirit. | |
| But when you go into the grocery store, you just thank the Lord. | |
| Thank you, Jesus, that I have a grocery store I can go into. | |
| I can now buy toilet paper. | |
| I can now buy paper towels. | |
| I can now get hand sanitizer. | |
| I can get foam soap. | |
| Things that I used to never even think about, but I just take it for granted. | |
| Now these things I'm thankful for, but also I'm thankful that I'm able to buy groceries. | |
| I'm able to get my veggies and my berries and my organic eggs and all. | |
| So again, it's just, I'm so thankful for the things that he supplied. | |
| And again, sometimes I just get these things online. | |
| I'm thankful for the restaurants that are open because now we can either get takeout or we can go in the restaurants and eat. | |
| And we just loved it. | |
| And so we're just so thankful. | |
| So now the prayers of gratitude, when you, before you eat, just sit down and thank the Lord. | |
| Thank you, Lord, but not just bless this food, but thank you, Lord, for supplying this food, supplying hot food. | |
| And it's things we used to take for granted. | |
| But when we enter that attitude, it's an attitude we carry with us all day long. | |
| And when you carry that attitude of gratitude, it's infectious to other people. | |
| They see it and they want what you have. | |
| And the best thing it does, it insulates you from stress. | |
| It lowers cortisol. | |
| Do you know cortisol weakens your immune system significantly? | |
| One part of your immune system, a very important part, high cortisol levels decrease your natural killer cells. | |
| The natural killer cells I tell patients are like the Navy seals in the military. | |
| These are your toughest, toughest cells that literally kill viruses and cancer cells. | |
| But when you have a lot of cortisol, it weakens those natural killer cells and depresses them by as much as 50%. | |

Deep Sleep Rejuvenation

|
| But when you enter that attitude of gratitude and practice belly laughter and practice just mindfulness, enjoying the present moment, all of a sudden, guess what? | |
| That cortisol level drops and the immune system is able to reboot. | |
| And when you enter that deep sleep, it is amazing what deep sleep does to your body. | |
| The brain is able to recharge. | |
| The body is able to heal. | |
| The body releases growth hormone and powerful neural peptides that actually repair the brain. | |
