When gratitude practices were bull$hit!

I remember when I first heard about gratitude practices and thought it was a bull$hit way to bypass your true feelings.

While there are people who do use this practice as a mask to not face what is truly there, I have found it a powerful way to shift the lens I am looking through to see if there are new ways of understanding myself and others. 

I don’t remember when the switch happened in my head but its now just a natural part of my evening practice I do at night as I am going to sleep.

I simply say to myself “I am grateful for_____” and the blanks begin to populate.

It’s whoever, and whatever comes to mind.
I don’t judge it or myself.
And I have noticed over time that even in the the most challenging, brutal moments of life, I am still able to see and feel the good.

Do you have a gratitude practice?
What does it look like?
In this moment, what are you grateful for?
