Gratitude Meditation

Instead of glass half full, or glass half empty, can we be thankful the glass has water? Practicing gratitude is a good way to remain present, optimistic, and hopeful. In this practice, you will be grounded by calming breaths then have the opportunity to think through what you are grateful for.

Transcript

In this practice,

I will guide you in a gratitude meditation.

You will have the opportunity to think of what you are thankful for in this moment.

Some people judge optimism by if you think the glass is half empty or half full.

I believe true gratitude is being thankful that the glass has water.

As your body finds ease,

Bring your focus to your breath.

Take a deep breath in through your nose and like a crashing wave,

Just let it all out of your mouth with a loud sigh.

One more time.

Thank yourself for making you a priority right now.

How often do you thank yourself?

How often do you say,

You did that.

You showed up today.

Thank you.

On the flip side,

If you do something you aren't proud of,

You're quick to point it out,

To dwell on it,

To let it bring you down.

Start practicing saying thank you to yourself.

For the next moment,

Think of all the things you are thankful for.

Are you thankful for your patience?

How about your growth?

What about your many accomplishments?

If your mind begins to wander,

Just bring it back and remind yourself what you are thankful for.

Take a deep breath and like an ocean wave release it out of your mouth.

Out loud or in your head repeat,

I am thankful for being me.

That's all I need to be.

Again,

I am thankful for being me.

That is all I need to be.

If your eyes have drifted closed,

Gently let them open.

Thank you for taking a breath with me.

Loved it. It’s like gratitude and self compassion rolled into one.

I really like this track! I I Especially like the breathing and the way I was left to think about the things I am grateful for; these can often be people and material things and not particularly profound e.g my car that took me on a lovely weekend away, my partner for being understanding, my legs that allow me to take a brisk walk every day. But the prompt at the end was welcome. Thanks .

Amazing gratitude practice. Thank you sis, this was much needed for my self-belief and acceptance💕

Nice pace and well recorded. Wonderful touch to remembering to thank oneself as well. Gentle background music by the piano in smooth arpeggios at similar soothing tempo and nicely coloured. Thank you

Very lovely. Well worth your time and energy.

🧘🏾‍♂️🙏🏾📿
