Good evening,
We're going to now come to a short bedtime gratitude meditation exercise.
So let's start by just allowing ourselves to settle.
So you may want to sit or lay down and allow for your breath to just gently flow in and out through your nose if that's comfortable for you.
We don't have to allow for the breath to be too deep or too fast,
Just keeping that breath nice and easy.
I'm going to ask you now to just allow one thing that has happened today that you are grateful for to come to mind.
You don't have to search hard,
It could be something really simple.
It could be a person,
It could be an act,
It could be an activity.
Just one thing that you are grateful for that happened in your day today.
Allow yourself to hold that thing in your mind for a moment and allow that sense of gratitude to flood over you,
Through you,
Around you.
And now we're going to think about a second thing that we are grateful for that happened in our day.
Again,
It could be a person,
Happening,
An event,
Maybe even an object.
So again,
Let's hold that thing in our mind,
Whatever it is,
And allow for a sense of gratitude to wash over you.
Now once more,
If you have a third thing that you are grateful for today,
Allow that thing to come to mind.
Really strongly feel that sense of thankfulness,
Of gratitude for whatever that third thing is.
And if you can't think of a third thing,
That's fine.
Just allow that sense of gratitude to wash over you,
Feeling that sense of gratitude now for all of the things that you're grateful for today.
And then just allowing yourself to retain that feeling,
But let's let go of the visualization,
Let go of the breath,
And let's come back to our bedtime,
So we can drift off to sleep with a sense of thankfulness and gratitude.
