Gratitude

“By recognising our blessings we begin to realise we are blessed.”

How you perceive the world is how you receive the world.
By reflecting on the positive moments that litter our lives we begin to tell a fuller, more inclusive picture of our past.
We come to know those moments in life which brought us a sense of joy.
The more familiar we become with these moments the more likely we are to notice them when they are upon us.
This can allow for a richer, more joyful and tuned in experience of presence.

These positive moments of reflection & presence can also empower our future.
When challenges present themself they are balanced with recognition of many moments of gratitude which makes it easier to access a sense of resilience and hope.

Try this very simple practice : Everyday write down and reflect on 1 - 3 things you are grateful for.

The following questions might help deepen your reflection.
*What happened?
*Who was there?
*Where were you?
*How did you feel?
*What were you thinking?
*How did you body feel?
