It's #GratefulFriday

Discover something everyday that you are grateful for.

Our lives are filled with unlimited sources of gratitude, but we forget to stop and notice. When we choose to focus on what makes us thankful, however, a shift occurs in our beings. Finding something that we are thankful for every single day can help shift us to a higher vibration. The lens through which we view our lives and the world becomes clearer and we can see that being alive truly is a gift to be savored. There is always something we can be grateful for—it our choice.

Yesterday while I was teaching I found myself pausing and allowing myself to take in the essence of my 83 year old student as he practiced a yoga posture that I had just taught him. We were working with something that required him to draw his focus to his center. As I witnessed him turn his focus turn inward with such curiosity, it warmed my heart. In that moment I felt so blessed to be able to be be an observer of his keen attention. If I had not allowed myself to truly be with and observe my student, I would have missed the moment.

We can experience gratitude for a momentous event, such as the birth of you child or getting a new job. And on another day it may come from smaller, more ordinary that is right in front of you waiting for you to open your eyes and heart, such as a the flowers blooming with spring or a warm cup of tea.

When you experience gratitude allow yourself to feel the emotions that arise. I felt blessed in the moment with my student, blessed to share in his journey and to observe his magical being.

Finding thankfulness in the every day things is a choice. It is within our power to find joy over sorrow. And every time we find something new that we are grateful for, our lives expand and the world is little bit brighter.

Much Love,
