Welcome to your mindful moment.
Let's begin this practice of gratitude by just noticing something simple that you're experiencing right now.
Maybe the experience of comfort from the chair that you're sitting on,
Or the simple wonder of pausing in the middle of your busy life to engage with this practice right now.
Allow it to fully absorb into your experience and let appreciation and gratitude arise and fill your body and your mind.
Now reflect on the people who you work and live with,
Appreciating their contribution,
Their good intention,
Perhaps thinking of a particular person whose work or effort directly supports your work and life,
Saying in your mind to them,
Thank you.
Now bring into mind something in particular that you're grateful for today,
Something that made a difference to you,
Or that you specially noticed.
Perhaps it was a smile of someone on the street,
Someone's kind words,
Feeling the appreciation and gratitude you have for its presence in your day.
And allow yourself to rest in this experience of gratitude.
And finally,
For all the countless gifts in your life,
Say thank you.
To all the people,
To all that is around you and part of you,
For all that you've experienced in your life,
For all of this,
Thank you.
And allowing the sense of gratitude fill you completely as you breathe in and breathe out,
And setting your mind on your breath.
You are now fully alive and present in this moment.
