What does it mean to be grateful? Thankfully, it doesn’t mean convincing yourself of some bogus notion that everything’s fine and dandy. Living your life with gratitude means choosing to focus your time and attention on what you appreciate. The goal is not to block out difficulties, but to approach those difficulties from a different perspective. Appreciation softens us.

We must add that some Black-skinned Latinos, biracial or bicultural, don’t identify themselves as Afro Latinos. In fact, according to a study done by Pew Research Center in 2020, only 2 percent of adults in the United States and a mere 12% of the Latino population consider themselves Afro Latinos.

Peter Bregman, the article’s author and a strategic advisor to CEOs, compares his own multitasking pitfalls to the research around how multitasking impacts our ability to process information.
