It's #gratefulFriday​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Gratitude helps you find the silver lining in the little things. It helps you to put the past to rest, and find joy in the moment. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever you draw your attention to becomes more powerful in your life.⁣⠀Can you try to focus on what you are grateful for in this moment?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to find joy, happiness, peace, love, connection..... then that is where you need focus your attention and intention. But if your attention is on something negative, than that is where your focus and energy go..⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Happiness doesn't create gratitude. Gratitude helps you to find happiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So how do you make this shift? Find gratitude? Find happiness? It is right there waiting for you. All you have to pause and look within, even when things are really bad. You may find that on the darkest of days you feel the shift more deeply. But it takes regular practice. It doesn't have to take a lot of time. Just a moment or two. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let's try practicing gratitude to bring more happiness into your life today. You can journal or meditate on these questions below. Take a long, slow, deep breath in and gently exhale out. Silently ask yourself just one of these questions and just let the answers flow into your heart. You can use the other questions on another day. Asking too many questions will keep you stuck in your mind and not in your heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-What are you grateful for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Who are you grateful for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-How have you shown up for yourself recently? 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-What are you proud of?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After you journal or meditate on these questions, repeat this mantra silently to yourself⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am whole⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am loved⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am love⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Spread your gratitude and love with someone today. Tag someone in the comments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Much Love,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
