\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know about you, but I have days that get away from me.\u00a0 Sometimes, the idea that I can take a few minutes out for exercise, or meditation, or whatever, is just flirting with non-reality.<\/p>\n

So, what do I do to assure that I have given myself some much-needed self-care even in times of chaos and stress?<\/p>\n

I keep a gratitude journal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This little book takes almost no space on my desk or in my purse.\u00a0 It attracts little attention.\u00a0 But, this little book is powerful!<\/p>\n

My gratitude journal:<\/p>\n

makes sure that I don’t take blessings for granted.<\/p>\n

prevents me from getting so caught up in my daily life that I forget to appreciate what I have.<\/p>\n

encourages me to become aware of all the ways I am fortunate.<\/p>\n

I may not write paragraphs or essays in this journal.\u00a0 Some days I write down just a few words.\u00a0 These words may include hugging a loved one, seeing the little bunny chew a flower in my garden, or eating a delicious red grape.<\/p>\n

Words are not always necessary.\u00a0 Sometimes my gratitude journal is a page with colors:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s the little things that change my thoughts and bring peace to my world.\u00a0 While relaxation is not the end goal, it’s a common side effect of a gratitude moment.\u00a0 This quiet, sometimes secret, moment changes how my body is feeling.<\/p>\n

This moment helps understand the experience.<\/p>\n

This is gratitude.<\/p>\n
