A teacher I studied with for many years always talked about “finding your center of gratitude.” He viewed gratitude as the most powerful, most important emotion/virtue. It can transform any negative emotion because you cannot feel gratitude and an emotion like fear, or anger, or hatred in your body/mind at the same time. Gratitude is like opening the window shades on a dark room and allow sunlight to stream in. The darkness flees.
Gratitude can be a challenging feeling to self generate when your life situation on the outside feels like things are going to crap. But that is the most important time to cultivate gratitude because it will keep you clear headed and grounded enough so you can navigate yourself out of the dark.
For me right now gratitude comes easy. I’m thankful we are legitimately into a better, more hopeful stage in the pandemic. I’m grateful for my husband. For our two cats, Astro and Sputnik. I’m grateful to be going to Thanksgiving with our Seattle family this year. We missed last year. All of us did. I’m grateful to all of my collaborators in my content. You guys inspire with your fearlessness in being vulnerable to share this work with other people. Vulnerability is true power. And I’m grateful to all of you for appreciating my work enough to support it. Some of you have been with my OF community for two years now, since the beginning.
Deep, deep thanks, fellas. Your comments and DM’s keep me inspired and motivated to keep creating and sharing this work in this way.💙🙏💙
