🙏🏼Weekly Gratitude Circle: Uplifting Mindset Support (30 mins)

Kick off your Monday mornings with a community gratitude practice at 9:30am EST, on Zoom. (read the entire event description below to find the password)

The path of transformation can be unsettling, at times, due to the dramatic inner shifts and changes to our old beliefs and habits. This can disrupt our foundation of stability and certainty.

When we look at people who have the same challenge for 10 years (repeating cycles and lessons), versus the people who actually move past the challenge —the differences aren't in whether they want to improve, but in their mindset and commitment to growth.

You’ve probably heard that "integration is key." Amidst challenging seasons of life, gratitude practice can bring you into trust and deep appreciation -- even for the less desirable events and circumstances.

ON UNDESIRED OUTCOMES:
"The next time you are confronted with any undesired outcome, just stop. Take one good, deep breath and say "Thank you for this gift, and the treasure that it holds for me." Be assured that it does hold a treasure, even if you are not seeing it right now."
--Neale Donald Walsch

ON GRATITUDE:
"You start to love that which you can love
and just keep expanding it...
You love a tree,
You love a river,
You love a leaf,
You love a flower,
You love a cat,
You love a human..."
--Ram Dass

The intention of our Gratitude Circle is to create a safe and nurturing space where each of us can share and reflect on the moments of gratitude we've experienced over the past week.

Connect authentically, support one another, and cultivate a deeper appreciation for the blessings in our lives, both big and small.

Remember to listen with empathy, speak with honesty, and hold space for the diverse experiences and emotions that each person brings.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Feel the gratitude.
2. Let the gratitude speak instead of your thoughts.
3. Find the opening phrase that resonates with you, no need to be rigid.
4. Let the gratitude impact you.
5. Don't explain your gratitude. Keep it short.
6. See how grateful you can be for things that are more difficult.
