Hi friends,

Welcome to day one of the gratitude journey.

I am so excited to get kicked off with this first prompt,

Which is what does gratitude mean to you?

When you think about this prompt,

First it's a free write.

So you're going to write until your heart is content,

Right?

Don't feel like you have to write a full essay,

But then also try to dig a little bit deeper than just a couple of sentences with this prompt.

Because when you're answering,

What does gratitude mean to you,

I want you to really think about a moment when you felt truly grateful.

Bringing this moment fully to mind,

Bringing the experience fully to mind,

Thinking about how you felt,

What you smelled,

Who was there,

Thinking about that moment will help you to really define gratitude for you.

So gratitude for me is embracing the gratefulness of life.

And what I mean by that is it's about digging deep and being aware,

Being aware of all that life has to offer and taking it in,

Taking in the smells,

Taking in the sights,

Taking in the feelings,

And then realizing that this moment will never come again exactly like this.

Gratitude is a way of just being thankful for where you are,

Right?

It's mindfulness and gratitude kind of go hand in hand.

Mindfulness is not about the exact experience,

But rather how you relate to it.

And gratitude is very similar,

How you relate to an experience or a moment that you had.

So when you think about what does gratitude mean to you,

Use an experience to really pull that definition out of you,

Draft it on the piece of paper.

There's no right or wrong answer.

It's what it means to you.

So enjoy this first journal prompt.

What does gratitude mean to you?
