826: Create Immediate Joy with a Mindful Moment of Gratitude
Practicing gratitude is not intended to be another chore on your list.\xa0It is intended to bring you emotional ease, even joy, as you navigate any given day.\xa0It is intended to be a reliable support as you navigate tough moments or tough seasons.\xa0And, it\u2019s intended to help you see what is possible if you\u2019re paying attention.\nI have had gratitude practices that felt a little chore-ish in nature.\xa0They were still valuable, but they didn\u2019t stick long-term.\xa0They did, however, teach me how to quickly and easily center gratitude in sticky moments, which has proven invaluable at times.\nI have also had gratitude practices that have brought (and still bring) me immense joy.\xa0Knowing I can lean into these any time I need them feels like a superpower.\nMostly, knowing how to access gratitude has provided a grounding and rootedness that has shifted how I see the world, how I show up in the world, and how I interact with the world.\xa0And, I\u2019m starting to see how it\u2019s shifting how my child shows up and interacts with the world too, which is pretty great.\nIn this episode, we will talk through ways to integrate a variety of gratitude practices to help you find a good \u201cfit\u201d for you so you can feel grounded and find joy in hard moments.\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
