Today’s tip was a struggle. Deciding what message to send in these times is tough. There’s so much going on in the world it feels a bit like being suspended on the top peak of a serious roller coaster. Sometimes my nervous system says, “Help, it’s all out of control!” Other times I clearly see a striking 360 view of the landscape.
The message that came to me this morning was that today (September 21) was National Gratitude Day and that felt like a part of that 360 view. It’s the remembrance of what’s good in our lives and how gratitude serves us in so many ways. Here’s a link to a fabulous article on the Psychology Today website about how to cultivate and practice gratitude.

One of the things I’m grateful for is remembering I have the skills, the wisdom, and the practices to ride the roller coaster. I hope this article helps you remember the value gratitude brings to our lives. Perhaps this week we can each take a few pauses to explore and embody gratitude.
