I want to talk about what you’re grateful for today.

Hang on – I want to be more specific… 

If you’ve already had something significant and wonderful that happened today that immediately came to mind when you read the first sentence, I don’t want that thing to be your answer.

If you feel you have nothing yet to be grateful for today, I encourage you to take a minute to explore…

I want to talk about the smallest thing you’re grateful for today. I want you to walk through your experiences today and find a tiny, seemingly insignificant moment that sparked any amount of joy – whether you were presently aware of it at that moment or not. Something underrated, or something you might have normally taken for granted. If you think you’ve found an answer, see if you can find something even smaller…

Tiny, tiny, tiny…

Keep pondering this until you no longer believe you can find anything smaller. Then, take some time to cherish that tiny gratitude. Hold onto it, and let it warm you. Wonder deeply about why you’re grateful for it, wonder how it came to mind through this chain of thought. Acknowledge your gratitude for it. If you feel a smile, embrace it.

After you’re ready to return to your day, notice if you experience the remaining hours any differently than you did yesterday.
