Hello, beautiful soul. Welcome to today's Gratitude Practice. I know mornings can feel heavy right now - with global uncertainties, personal challenges, and the constant noise of daily life. Today, I want to invite you into a gentle space of appreciation and inner calm.

Take a deep breath and let yourself settle. Feel the ground beneath you, supporting your entire body. Imagine your breath as a soft, warm wave washing through you, releasing tension with each exhale.

Today, we're exploring gratitude as a living, breathing practice - not just a concept, but a real way of experiencing the world. Close your eyes if you're comfortable. Place one hand on your heart and take three slow, deliberate breaths. With each breath, imagine you're collecting small moments of beauty that often slip past unnoticed.

Think about something unexpected that brought you joy recently. Maybe it was a stranger's smile, the way sunlight danced on a window, or a moment of unexpected kindness. These are not small things - they are profound connections that remind us we're alive and interconnected.

Gratitude isn't about forcing positivity. It's about truly seeing the richness around and within you. Breathe into that understanding. Some days gratitude feels easy, and some days it feels like work. Both are valid. Your practice is about showing up, not being perfect.

Gently scan your body. Where do you feel warmth? Where do you feel tension? Breathe into those spaces, offering yourself compassion. Gratitude begins with radical acceptance of this moment, exactly as it is.

As we close, I invite you to carry this practice into your day. Choose one small moment to fully appreciate - the taste of your morning coffee, the texture of your clothing, the sound of someone's laughter. Let gratitude be a soft lens through which you see the world.

Breathe. Be kind to yourself. See you next time.
