About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of appreciation in building a connection with God and introduces the G.A.M.E.S. tool for practicing appreciation.

Learning how to let yourself enter into the feeling of appreciation for five minutes or more helps your body relax and your mind quiet. For Christians, appreciation goes beyond only a brain exercise. It's an act of connection with God. With that in mind, in this On the Trail episode, we discuss Building Bounce Chapter Five: Appreciation , where we unpack the joy-building tool G.A.M.E.S. for practicing appreciation, plus we dwell on the relational connection appreciation builds with God. G.A.M.E.S. stands for Gratitude (appreciation in the present), Anticipation (appreciation for the future), Memories (appreciation for the past), Experiences, and Singing.
