139. How Do I Awaken Appreciation?: 3 Tr...

Monica Berg and Michael Berg
About this episode

Even the most cherished gifts in our lives can begin to lose significance if we do not work to keep our appreciation for them alive. In this summer mini-episode of Spiritually Hungry, we talk about the connection between appreciation and love and how we can awaken them every day.



“Our biggest blinder is that when we lose appreciation, we tend to feel like we don’t love—what we once valued is no longer valuable. When we lose appreciation, we can’t access that love.” – Monica Berg
