Gratitude Let's practice a mindful moment for our month of gathering,
Centering on gratitude.
Take a slow breath in and feel yourself arrive right here,
Right now.
A gentle collective breath in and a soft,
Full breath out,
Releasing any sense of lack.
As we approach the Thanksgiving season,
We are invited to focus on appreciating what we have,
Rather than dwelling on what's missing.
Gratitude is the quickest way to shift from scarcity to abundance.
It's not about big,
Dramatic moments.
It's about the small,
Quiet goodness woven into our everyday life.
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Think about your body.
Name three things your body did for you today.
Perhaps it helped you stand up,
Breathe easily,
Or blink your eyes when needed.
Offer quiet,
Simple thanks for the simple,
Reliable functionality of our body.
Now think of your work.
Name a team member or a success,
Even something that was small,
From this week.
A problem solved,
A helpful word spoken.
Hold that positive outcome in your mind.
Feel the warmth that gratitude creates in your chest,
In your heart,
In your soul.
When you pause to appreciate,
You are filling your cup with sustainable internal joy.
This feeling is always available to you,
Right here,
Right now,
In your mind,
Heart,
Body,
And soul.
As you hold this feeling of inner abundance,
Here is a quiet reflection.
To nurture gratitude this week or even today,
What daily habit will you commit to?
A.
A mental note,
Pausing to say thank you internally before drinking your first sip of water or coffee each day.
B.
An external expression,
Sending a brief text or email of appreciation to a specific person who helped you.
Choose the option that feels most needed today and hold that intention gently.
Take a deep breath in,
Gathering the abundance of gratitude,
And a slow releasing breath out,
Sharing that thankfulness with the world.
As you step forward,
Remember you are abundant,
You are valued,
And your life is full of goodness,
Even when we cannot see it.
Thank you so much for practicing mindful motivation together.
Have a beautiful day.
