Welcome to this beautiful new day,
Another day on Earth.
Life is temporary,
And the wonder of your life is everywhere when you let yourself see it.
Because you're alive,
You're breathing,
You're loving,
You're creating.
There is goodness,
Magic,
All around you,
And sometimes your awareness may not see it at first.
That's okay.
Every moment is an opportunity to take a breath in,
And be here again,
And look with fresh eyes.
Today,
We're going to play a fun game,
Where I give you some prompts,
And you see if you can find the goodness there.
Like a scavenger hunt,
Where you're looking for the treasure of gratitude.
Closing your eyes,
Taking a breath in,
The first treasure is low-hanging fruit.
Think of something you're grateful for,
Big or small.
The first thing that comes to mind,
Hold it in your awareness for a moment,
And let yourself fully feel your gratitude for it.
Gratitude not just as a thought,
But as a full-body sensation.
How does it feel?
Warm?
Powerful?
Energized?
Now with our second prompt,
It's going to get a bit harder.
The second treasure is buried a bit deeper.
Think of a problem you currently have.
Someone wise once said that there are no problems in life,
Only situations we deal with one at a time.
Look at your problem again.
Do you soften a little?
Now if it feels right for you,
See if you can bring a bit of laughter to your belly,
Even if you manufacture it at first,
Creating a small laugh in your system,
Feeling the laughter massage and soften open any tension in your belly.
Now think about your problem again.
How does it feel?
You will find a way through.
Feeling gratitude even amidst this problem.
You're alive.
You get to have a problem.
Letting yourself feel this gratitude to be alive.
Because one day,
You won't be.
And the final treasure for today,
I'm not sure if this one will be easy or hard for you,
Let's see.
What is something that you used to be hard on yourself for,
But now you've fully accepted and you love about yourself?
Feeling that place where there used to be tension and separation.
Where now there is soft,
Sweet self-love.
Feeling gratitude for that love.
Feeling this warm hug wrap all around you.
Filling you up.
Feeling all of this treasure that was right here.
When you feel ready,
Opening your eyes.
Your whole life is a gratitude treasure hunt.
It's all around you.
Sometimes we just need to take a breath and look.
If you want to continue the treasure hunt,
I invite you into a course I created called 21 Day Gratitude Treasure Hunt.
A playful and profound 21 day adventure through the ins and outs of your life to find all kinds of treasure.
If it resonates with you,
I'll see you in there.
Otherwise,
I'm wishing you an incredible day in your life.
