Gratitude and Presence go hand in hand.

If you're not present - you can't be grateful.⁣⁣

Why do presence and gratitude go hand in hand? ⁣⁣

Gratitude to me isn't about thinking of all the good things in my life. It used to be...like looking at life nostalgically, remembering, 'oh ya, that was a good moment!' ⁣⁣

True gratitude (and it's always a practice) means that we're fully engaged in the moment - experiencing a bubbling up of thankfulness for the simplicity of a warm sweater, a sip of tea, the way the light shines on the fresh snow (can you tell I'm in Alberta?) and even sometimes, the blue of the sky. ⁣⁣

If you've tried a gratitude practice before and couldn't quite commit, or it fizzled out when you kept writing, "I'm thankful for my home, my family, my health" over and over, I can't wait for you to check out my ⁣Mindful Mornings Journal,⁣ that launches THIS TUESDAY Nov 17th for a more effective spin on a gratitude practice. ⁣⁣

Gratitude is one of 4 daily practices included in the journal for more daily peace and connection. ⁣

with support,

Trish
