Gratitude is in Season

Gratitude is in Season and it’s Transformative! “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” Wayne Dwyer Sometimes called the key to a happier life, gratitude can be truly transformative because it changes your perspective of the world. Gratitude can help you focus on the positive aspects of life. It can help build and maintain relationships with others, and most importantly, can help you focus on things that are truly important and meaningful in your life. By practicing gratitude on a daily basis, you can develop an ongoing feeling of well being and peace by deciding to appreciate things as they are. If you’d like to start a gratitude practice, consider spending two to three minutes each morning giving thanks for whoever or whatever you’re grateful for - perhaps even starting a gratitude journal. This daily practice can be transformative, because it reminds us of what truly matters in our lives. As you come back to your practice on a daily basis, you absolutely will find more and more to be grateful for. Positive energy begets positive energy. Perhaps, beginning a gratitude practice can be something to consider integrating into your life in the new year. It is the ultimate gift to yourself. I want to wish everyone the happiest and healthiest holiday and a safe and prosperous 2024! Please take a second and let the words below sink in. The author of this gratitude poem remains unknown.
