and feeling overwhelmed by LEO about of Zan habits done that as many give them for once in their lives. This week we might look at how to go deeper with gratitude. Gratitude seems like a Triton, even perhaps boring topic too many. We all know we should be grateful, and yet there are ways that we aren't cultivating gratitude and our lives could be much easier, even richer. If we did use gratitude in these cheaper ways will take a few examples. Boredom into a friend recently about how she doesn't like to stay and stillness inquired, because it feels boring she realizes this probably isn't.

For her ass. She often feels the need to move to keep busy and she liked to learn to be more present slow down at times they answered boredom is gratitude, must think about a situation. You turn off your phone, get away from the computer and go sit outside with no book no device. No one to talk to nothing to do you just sit there, how use is that how interesting how productive human answer? Not at all these questions, and it might seem boring, but I believe us because we're not number one paying enough attention and number two appreciating the gift of that moment, if I'm sitting alone with nothing to do, I might have the urge to get up and go do something or reach for my phone, but what? If, instead I could pay. Pension. Do how my body feels the texture of my breath. All around me, the nature Sid in front of my face, the sounds of the world busy and activity, the vibrant colors, the life that struggling to survive and thrive.

Family relationships for having away to practice being better at peace,

In Saint communication, we can think of this person as art, sure who is unwittingly helping us to get stronger and to grow as a person number two. If we lose our job, this can be very difficult. I also find gratitude that we had a job in the first place, even if only for a while we can agree. For that we have some savings And or network of family to help us, or perhaps we can lean on dangerous to help. We can find gratitude for the opportunity to start afresh. To reinvent ourselves to put into the discomfort getting good interviewing and learning new skills and starting, new career. We can find gratitude for the opportunity to grow, even in the midst of pain, number three struggle with health or never. Funding can often be very painful, and debilitating am not claiming. This is good, but perhaps there And can be mediated by a sense of gratitude of being alive of having loved ones who might help us of being able to feel pain.
