practicing mindful gratitude

Thanksgiving always brings time for reflection and expression of gratitude. We hold gratitude for so much - things as big as our family, friends, and health, and things as small as our favorite coffee shops and the light that comes through our windows in the morning. The list of things we feel grateful for is never-ending and ever-expanding. This is the case for most of us, yet we all can easily forget to recognize our gratitude in the business of our day to day lives.

There is so much power in acknowledging our gratitude. Bringing conscious awareness to all we are grateful for and expressing that to ourselves and others brings us positive energy and a sense of grounding. In the spirit of the holiday, we are sharing a journal prompt to encourage the practice of mindful gratitude - this week and all other times of the year :)
