Back to Life with Gratitude
I always feel that coming back to life with gratitude is the easiest way for me to stay focused, clear and fluid.
Let me explain.
You see, for me gratitude is a daily practice and has been for years. I either wake up and mentally think of three things I am grateful for, write it down in my journal, or just before I sleep I think of several things that I am grateful have come to fruition in that day. A recapitualtion of sorts if you like.
I have experienced an intense few years, like many people, and I have chosen to pracitce gratitude for years and I gotta tell you that this is a practice that will net you results rapidly.
Here are just a few things a daily gratitude practice can do for you:
-creates greater resilience
-less overthinking
-better sleep quality
-easier to fall asleep
-greater clarity
I could keep going with this list, but I want you to jump onto this train. Right now, just think of one thing you are grateful for and then take a deep breath into that thought. As you exhale just notice how you feel?
Did you suddenly relax your shoulders or perhaps a little smile came to your face?
Keep doing this everyday, hell, do this as much as you want. This is easy and free medicine.
Try it.
As for me, I am immensely grateful to everyone for their support. My Instagram account got hacked last week and I had dozens of messages from people letting me know what was happening. It was so awesome to have that support.
I am so grateful that my tribe has my back!
Spend as much time coming back to the beauty of life with an attitude of gratitude and I promise you will begin to see the gifts in your days and not the challenges as the highlights.
In gratitude + service,
Akasha
