“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.”
I love this Brené Brown. She has a ton of great nuggets of wisdom that I can really mull over in my mind throughout the day and I absolutely love that. The quote above hits like a ton of bricks on the hard days. The days we forget gratitude and paying attention.
I like to circle back to it frequently lately as we enter the different phases of quarantine. Some days are full of gratitude and others it’s hard to remember what that feels like.
Through it all, practicing gratitude has been a form of therapy. If you’re into that, one little trick I read by Tim Ferris is think of someone you wish well, and focus for 5-10 seconds on wishing that person well. Do it every few hours and wow it can feel great!
Let me know if you notice a difference at the end of your day!
