30 Days of Gratitude

“Gratitude is a verb”

Jay Shetty

Gratitude is also a recent addition to the Attitudinal Foundations of Mindfulness. Jon Kabot Zinn felt the need to add gratitude because, “Gratitude allows you to bring attention to all the good in your life keeping you from wallowing on all the things going wrong.” Jay Shetty believes if we build the action of gratitude into our lives, it becomes our focus and opens more positive possibilities. Our current reality can change.

This November I will post 30 days of Gratitude. Each day there will be another example of how we can practice this together. If you have been considering starting a gratitude journal, this month can give you the start on this path. If some of the ideas presented are difficult for you, then consider just one aspect of it. For example, maybe you do not have perfect health, most of us do not, but if you are able to read this right now that is something to be grateful for. If one of my suggestions does not resonate with you can substitute your own idea.
