One week that can change your life!
DAY 7 ~
Give an anonymous gift to someone.
Leave a gift for someone where they will find it, with their name on it.
Discover how good that feels!
GRATITUDE & AUTHENTICITY
So gratitude becomes this invitation to be open to feeling
what's here and available to feel. Even if it's sad, or mad,
or anything it turns out.
7 DAYS OF GRATITUDE 🤍 Daily Experience:
Ask yourself, “What am I grateful for right now?”
⭐️ Throughout the day, continue to ask yourself, “What am I grateful for right now?” And feel free to write in your journal as you keep discovering what happens for you and around you.
Ten Minute Meditation ~
⭐️ Make yourself comfortable, take 3 deep breaths, feel your body, and invite yourself to relax with each exhalation.
⭐️ Find just one thing you are genuinely grateful for right now and write down what you are feeling in your journal.
⭐️ Find a second thing you are genuinely grateful for right now. Notice the feelings of gratitude in your body. Write down what you are feeling in your journal.
⭐️ Find a third thing you are genuinely grateful for right now. If you can find one thing, you can find two. If you can find two things, you can find three. If you can find three things, you can find ten thousand.
⭐️ Bring curiosity to your current experience as you notice the frequency and vibrations of gratitude moving through your whole being. Write down what you notice as you continue to feel gratitude. Keep noticing all the things you are grateful for.
✨ GRATITUDE & AUTHENTICITY ✨
Reflecting on gratitude,
I noticed that there were many,
many, many, many, many,
many, many times in my life
when it seemed wise
to not be authentic,
many times
when it seemed wise
to get along and not
rock the boat.
It seemed like a really good and
important choice to make,
and so many times when
authenticity seemed
problematic.
What does that have to do with gratitude?
Well, to really feel gratitude,
you have to know what you’re grateful for,
know what you like, and
know what you value,
and things of that nature.
And be willing to feel yourself,
willing to be vulnerable to
not just the joy of having or being,
but the pain of losing,
the grief of losing
something.
So gratitude
becomes this invitation to
be open to feeling what’s here
and available to feel.
Even if it’s sad, or mad, or
anything it turns out.
And for me, my quest
has been: communion
and connection and
authenticity.
And my conditioning has been:
keep it on the down low.
Keep your head down.
Don’t make eye contact.
Keep your thoughts to yourself.
Keep your hands to yourself.
Find out what is wanted
and conform to that.
Over the years of inquiry
and inquiry and inquiry,
the layers of conditioning
come up and wash away.
And there are moments
of deep and powerful gratitude
to just be here,
how I am,
without trying to do it
any different inside
or outside.
So that’s how it is.
So feeling that now with you,
right now, that seems like
the greatest treasure
that I can find:
to just be myself,
even if it’s _______
fill in the blank.
Just be myself.
What a gift.
What a great starting place.
What a great baseline.
Maybe you can dance to it.
Much love.
