I suggest this link for an idea of what this Practice is about and How to give it a try!! It's an interesting read regardless! And if Y'all think ya might give it a try too~ by all means Please Share?? Thanks!! How to Start a Gratitude Practice and Change Your Life Brightest Blessings PEACE   HippieBea

Yes, this is a wonderful article and the idea of having a time after awaking to start the day and end our day on a positive note by being grateful for little things like the birds singing and the sun shining can be a great way to start the day. It can also be a time to become aware of the moment and put aside the dreams of the night and the plans for the day just to focus on simple things to be grateful for like the breath going in......................................... and then out.............................................................
There is a lot to grateful for but I forget when I get too absorbed in the latest problem. Thanks for reminding us to remember to start and end our day on a positive note. I hope others share what they are grateful for. |

I was thinking today ... the beauty of GRATITUDE is that it is 'present moment'. When I make a gratitude list, I am never in the past or future ... I am in the NOW.
That awareness of how gratitude can bring us into the present moment came to me today as I was taking a walk and enjoying the cooler weather, squirrels playing, etc. ... thanks again for this post ... I am grateful for it!

Practicing gratitude on a daily has also been shown to help ease symptoms of depression. When we regularly focus on what we have and not what we don’t have, our mindsets instantly start to change. Practicing daily gratitude can be achieved through performing acts of kindness, giving thanks to people and keeping a gratitude journal to reflect on all the things we have to be grateful for.

Tonight yoga class was an opening of the body and also opening of new energy to meet the challenges of the day. That kind of opening really gives me a boost. What else inspires and uplifts people? Curious to know if you care to share. |
