MIND-EMOTION- ENERGY for Centering Gratitude

Within a scale of 0 to 10, zero is the lowest and ten is the highest, offer yourself a number in your relationship to how your feel gratitude in this genuine and real moment (no-judgment or overthinking). Again, zero is the lowest and ten is the highest, lock in your private felt number.

Taking in 3 long deep breaths.

Open yourself to invoke the feeling that leans into being full of gratitude.

Think of gratitude by way of an experience, a moment, a time, a connection, a creative outlet/activity, or engagement maybe in nature (the ocean, the lake, the shores, the mountains, the forest, the cabin, the ski slope).

Or gratitude from reading a poignant line from a book or gratitude watching a classic favorite movie, gratitude from visual scrapbooked travel memory to gratitude in a favorite meal shared.

Recalling gratitude by smell of a holiday/celebratory treat or gratitude participating in a family tradition.

Gratitude can be from a sacred conversation with a cherished friend, family member or a special child.

Gratitude hearing familiar music from the past or gratitude singing along to song lyrics at a concert, karaoke, in the car or shower.

It could be a time in your childhood-maybe between the ages 6-10- when we were creative and fearless with joy.

Or, celebrating with someone very close to us that ushers in the feel goodness of gratitude.
