“Thank you.”
Simple but effective.
When we take the time to notice (and appreciate) something magical happens —the heart opens.
Heartfelt gratitude ignites the spirit of generosity and makes room to go deep.
Gratitude is powerful but easily overlooked.
We get caught up in the hustle. We focus on what’s not okay. We get lost in the minutiae of woulda, shoulda, coulda. But the illusion of separateness dissipates when we take a beat to offer thanks. Our hearts open, and love fills the cracks.
Gratitude helps you see lovers and friends through fresh eyes. Suddenly, you notice the little things…
A cup of tea made just the way you like it.
The gentle heat of their hands on your tired back.
Patient ears that listen when your world is falling apart.
You realize that you are cared for.
Giving thanks also has a mirroring effect. When you appreciate your partner’s efforts, it motivates them to continue showing up for you. It reminds them of how good it feels to be acknowledged. Your relationship becomes an upward spiral, even in the aftermath of upset.
Shared gratitude moves you from "me" to "we."
When you give thanks for the ways you balance each other, helping one another grow. You feel part of a team. Two pillars mutually holding and lifting each other higher.
When thanks flow freely, joy rises.
Hardships become buoyant.
Irritation fade.
Resentment dissolves.
Then, you can train your focus on the blessings.
I invite you to make gratitude a ritual.
Leave notes.
Send appreciation texts.
Share what you value.
Tell em’ how you feel.
Because “the highest vibration always wins.” For facts.
