In this solo episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour: Awakening Humanity, Sam Liebowitz explores what it really means to go beyond positive thinking. He begins by reading his blog post, “Gratitude Is a Choice We Can Make Anytime,” reminding us that while life can feel chaotic, painful, or uncertain, there is almost always something in the present moment we can be genuinely grateful for—our breath, a bed to sleep in, food in the kitchen, or simply a safe place to rest. Sam explains how shifting our focus from what’s missing (“negative space”) to what’s already here (“positive space”) can gently open the door to gratitude, even in difficult times.From there, Sam dives deeper into why “just thinking positive” often doesn’t work. He talks about the unconscious patterns of unworthiness, self-protection, and old stories from childhood that quietly sabotage our intentions, and how real transformation requires deep inner work—whether through therapy, coaching, spiritual practice, or other forms of healing.
