Let's take a moment to tune in to ourselves and notice how we are feeling,
Closing your eyes,
Placing your hands on your heart,
And checking in with yourself.
No matter what life throws at you,
Joy can be found,
And a find is easily accessed through gratitude.
So we are going to do a lovely gratitude practice,
Connecting you with your inner joy,
For life's beautiful experiences from your past,
And also in your present.
Let's begin our gratitude practice,
Starting with your past.
Now the most important thing is you're bringing a memory to mind,
But not only are you visualizing it or recalling it,
I encourage you to feel the good feelings associated with these positive memories from your past and present.
In this way you can get the most out of this practice and experience.
Feel free to use this as a journaling practice or as a visualization practice,
Writing it down or recalling memories in your mind's eye.
Closing your eyes,
Taking a moment to massage your head and scalp,
I don't want you to think too hard here,
Just allowing positive memories to come up naturally on their own.
So as you massage your scalp,
Have that intention of relaxing your brain,
Your mind,
Your thoughts.
You can move more into a receiver mode,
Receiving gratitude,
Receiving joyful memories.
Massage the front of your forehead,
The sides of your head,
The back of your head,
And the top of your head now.
Beautiful.
I want you to bring up some memories that you are grateful for,
Around friendships from your past.
This may go all the way back to your childhood,
Teenage years,
Or early adulthood.
Bring these memories up,
These people,
These relationships,
And maybe some special moments you shared together.
I'll give you some time to do this now.
Wonderful.
I invite you to welcome gratitude for family relationships from your past.
This may be biological family,
Or just those you identify as your family members.
Focusing on the good times,
The positive memories,
Or experiences that you shared with your family,
Close family or extended family,
It's up to you.
I'll give you some time to do this now.
Holding gratitude for education and learning in your life,
Whether that was the schooling you've gone through,
Certificate programs,
Maybe it was a babysitting or first aid course,
I encourage you to reflect on all these beautiful moments of education,
Whether that's times you've been self-taught or received teaching from others,
As it truly is a gift.
I'll give you some time to breathe these memories now.
Wonderful.
Let's take a moment to appreciate the abundance of finances that you've had in your life.
Small or great,
Money has come your way throughout your life.
I'd like for you to take time to reflect on the money that has come into your life.
Money that you've worked for,
Money that has been gifted to you,
And money that has come in unexpected ways.
Do this now.
Wonderful.
Holding gratitude now for relationships with partners.
Now if you haven't had any partner relationships,
That's okay.
I encourage you to choose a different type of relationship that you want to have gratitude for.
Reflecting on the positive memories that you've shared with your partner or a partner from the past.
And if you haven't had a partner,
That's okay.
I'll let you choose another topic that you want to focus your gratitude on now.
Wonderful.
Taking some time to be grateful for work opportunities that you've had,
Previous jobs,
And the memories that you've had with coworkers,
Experiences with others,
And volunteer work.
Do this now.
Beautiful.
Let's take some time to be grateful for the things,
The physical items that have touched you in your life and brought you moments of happiness.
Maybe there's some special toys from your childhood you want to bring into your mind.
Or maybe it was your first bicycle or car.
Take some time to reflect on these memories and feel that joy in this moment.
Beautiful.
Now,
Going a little more reflective here,
I want you to bring to mind moments of bravery and courage in your life.
Maybe times when you've stood up for yourself or pushed yourself past your fears to experience soul growth.
Reflect on these moments now.
Wonderful.
Let's take five minutes to reflect with an open heart for gratitude for all of your past experiences.
Whatever comes to mind.
Maybe relationships,
Maybe traveling,
Maybe more internal moments of self-care,
Things you've done for yourself in your life,
Or beautiful things that you've done for others.
Take this time to reflect on the beauty from your past now.
Beautiful work.
We're going to pull this gratitude to the present moment in your life.
And now I want you to go through everything that we just went through for the past gratitude practice.
Things like work and finances,
Relationships,
Soul growth,
And really reflect on everything that you're grateful for right now in your life.
Small things,
Big things,
Everything.
I'm going to give you lots of time for this practice.
Enjoy it and feel the beautiful feelings of gratitude.
Whip up some joy in your life.
It can begin now.
Wonderful work with this gratitude practice.
How are you feeling?
Let's take a moment to just check in with your body,
Hands on your heart,
Closing your and noticing how you feel.
Wonderful work.
Beautiful soul.
