Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.
Today we are on day two of our 12 days of gratitude journaling and as we said yesterday,
Journaling about gratitude is a wonderful way to stay in touch with the things that we have in our lives that make life amazing.
Sometimes we get so caught up in our day-to-day activities and maybe you're just running around or you're stressed out or tired.
Stop and take a moment to journal about what you have to be grateful for and who around you do you have to be grateful for.
There's a great quote that says,
Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy.
They are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.
Who is that person for you?
Maybe it's yourself,
Maybe it's someone else.
Who do you need to thank?
Let's take a moment to think about someone who has had a positive impact on your life recently.
Maybe it's someone you haven't properly thanked,
A colleague,
A friend,
A family member,
Even a stranger.
Why not write a letter to that person or maybe it's yourself.
Write a letter of thanks.
Share it if you like or don't share it.
And as always,
I decided to pick a card from one of my favorite decks,
The Oracle of the Fairies and I got Inner Child.
The fairies of playfulness remind you to make time to embrace your inner child.
Playing keeps us young at heart.
Do something silly and fun but stay safe.
So let's think about that.
Who do we want to thank and who do we want to play with today?
Maybe ourselves,
Our friends.
Let's put some time on the clock and journal about that.
All right,
My friends,
I hope you had an opportunity to think about someone who you really want to thank.
Whether it was you or someone else,
I hope you got to write a nice letter,
Some bullet points,
Jot down why you want to thank that person,
What amazing things have they done for you or what amazing things have you done for yourself.
I often think about teachers on Insight Timer.
There have been so many who have influenced me in ways I can't even begin to describe and often if I get the chance,
I'll make sure I thank them.
I love collaborating with other teachers.
It's always an opportunity for me to express my gratitude to them and whether or not you have the opportunity to express your gratitude to someone,
Think of a teacher maybe or someone nearby.
I'm sure that you will find many of those here on Insight Timer.
Write them a letter,
Maybe send them a message today.
And I hope that you have an amazing day.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow for day three of our 12 Days of Gratitude Journaling.
Until then,
Stay amazing,
My friend.
See you tomorrow.
