In this episode, I share my personal journey of improving my heart rate variability (HRV) over the past six months. I reveal how my average HRV increased from 37 to 51 milliseconds and explore the unexpected factor that may have contributed to this improvement: gratitude.

I discuss my morning routine, the power of thankfulness, and how being present in everyday moments has impacted my overall well-being. Drawing from scientific research and personal experience, I explain the connection between gratitude and HRV.
