What Is Gratitude (Really)?

Forget the fluffy stuff. Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s perfect. It’s about finding presence and possibility right where you are.

At Get2Mindset, we define gratitude as a reset. Not a routine. Not a to-do list. A moment-to-moment practice of shifting from “I have to” to “I Get2.”

It’s not always easy. But it’s always possible.

The Science Behind Gratitude

Research shows that practicing gratitude:

  • Lowers anxiety and stress
  • Increases emotional resilience
  • Improves sleep and energy
  • Strengthens relationships

That’s not hype. That’s neuroscience. When you train your brain to see what’s working (even in chaos), you rewire your response to life.

Why Most Gratitude Practices Don’t Stick

If you’ve tried to “keep a gratitude journal” and dropped it in a week, you’re not alone. Most people fail because:

  • The practice feels like a chore
  • It’s too vague (what am I grateful for again?)
  • It doesn’t fit real life (especially when life’s hard)

We built the I Get2 Method to solve all that.

The I Get2 Method – A Gratitude Practice That Works

This isn’t a mindset shift. It’s a moment reset.

Step 1: Spot the “I have to” thoughts.
Step 2: Flip them to “I Get2.”
Step 3: Anchor it with a card, journal, or breath.

It’s fast. It’s powerful. And it’s designed to fit even the busiest day.

How to Start

You don’t need to overhaul your life. Just take one step:

Still have questions?

Is this spiritual or science-based?

It’s both - if you want it to be. Our tools are grounded in psychology and designed for real life. You don’t need to believe anything special to benefit.

What if I’ve failed at this before?

Then you’re in the right place. This method is simple, flexible, and forgiving. We built it for real humans with messy days.

How fast will I notice a shift?

Most people feel a reset after just one card or journal prompt. The more consistently you use the tools, the more natural it becomes.
