how does paul conti suggest we practice gratitude and agency

Conti suggests cultivating a healthy sense of self so you can meet life with active agency and gratitude.

• Agency: Recognize that you cannot control everything, identify what you can influence, and consider how your present choices shape what comes next. 1
• Gratitude: Actively notice the value of being here and of yourself and others trying to move forward; bring that appreciation into daily interactions through kindness and compassion, including toward yourself. 1
• Empowerment and humility: Build empowerment through self-understanding and humility through an honest, respectful view of yourself and life’s complexity. Together, they support agency and gratitude, helping you keep engaging with life through difficulties. 2 3 4
