๐ย Good Morning, and Welcome to Day 2 of Nourishing November!ย ๐
Yesterday, we began our journey by immersing ourselves in the beauty of the present moment. Today, weโre building on that foundation by bringing gratitude into our breath, letting each inhale and exhale become a reminder of all that we have to be thankful for.
Start your day with this affirmation:
"With each breath, I welcome gratitude into my heart."ย ๐ฟ
Take a moment to say this affirmation silently to yourself. Imagine that each breath you take invites a little more gratitude into your heart, filling you up with appreciation for the gift of today. Breathing is something we do constantly, yet when we take a moment to focus on it with intention, it becomes a powerful tool for grounding ourselves in gratitude and peace.
๐ธย Todayโs Activity: 5-Minute Gratitude Breathing
Today, letโs take 5 minutes to practice mindful breathing with gratitude as our focus. Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you can sit or stand with ease. Close your eyes if it feels right, and start by taking a deep breath in, filling your lungs completely, and then releasing it slowly.
As you breathe, bring to mind something youโre grateful for with each inhale. It could be a person, a memory, a simple joy, or even the gift of breath itself. With every exhale, let go of any tension, stress, or worries, allowing yourself to feel lighter and more centered.
Let this breathing practice be a moment of connectionโa way to remind yourself of all the beautiful things you carry with you, even when life feels busy or overwhelming. Breathing mindfully helps us ground ourselves, releasing what no longer serves us while embracing the things that bring us joy and gratitude.
Take your time, and when youโre ready to end, gently open your eyes and thank yourself for giving this time to gratitude today. ๐ฟ
Iโm looking forward to hearing about your experience tonight! Letโs meet back here to reflect and close the day with intention.
