And now a few simple questions to help guide your personal gratitude. Can you think of someone who brought you joy recently or simply made you smile?

And now bring to mind a recent experience that made you happy or brought you some peace. Take a moment to remember it, Say thank you for it and savor the gratitude you feel for that experience. And now consider how you spend a lot of your day, Whether it's your job or the work you do at home or your leisure time. It can be anything. Find a piece of the way you spend your time that you're thankful for and think about that for a moment. Say thank you and begin to feel gratitude for it. And finally let your mind wander to one more part of your life where you feel gratitude. It could be something as simple as your morning coffee, A friend you enjoy chatting with or the comfort of your home. Whatever comes to mind, Take a few moments to say thank you and to really feel the gratitude in your heart. And as we bring this meditation to a close, Take another deep breath filled with gratitude for this moment, For the ability to pause and reflect and for the endless gifts in our lives. And then take this sense of thankfulness with you, Letting it warm your heart each moment of your day. Thank you, I'm grateful for you and I'm sending you peace, I'm sending you love and I'm sending you happiness for the rest of your day.
