Hello everyone, welcome to my weekly audio journal. Today I'd like to share a quote from Sadhguru, " Gratitude is not something you have to express. If you are filled with gratitude for all the things that contribute to your life, it will melt your very being."
Often we are told to have a gratitude practice. Write down three things that you're grateful and thankful for or maybe even in a prayer format, say thanks or in meditations, what are you grateful for? But instead of just thinking about it, are you feeling the emotion of gratitude?
A tool that I use often to help me feel the emotional gratitude is asking why? So I list what I'm grateful for but then I also ask why am I grateful for that? Sometimes I may ask it even two more times, so it gets into a deeper of level of why I'm actually grateful. It really helps me bring out the emotion of gratitude, not just thinking about gratitude.
Also as a small exercise, may you send a piece of gratitude to someone around you? friend, family, acquaintance, colleague. Share with them what you're grateful for and why you are grateful for it.
Thank you all for listening, may your week be filled with gratitude.
