This challenge is for anyone who could use a little lift this season.
Maybe you’ve experienced a loss, and the holidays feel especially heavy.
Maybe the hustle and bustle have left you feeling overwhelmed.
Maybe you’re navigating anxiety and struggling to quiet your mind.
Or maybe you simply want to embrace gratitude this season.
Whatever your reason, you are welcome here.

Pick Your Practice:
During the challenge, you’ll choose between a specific or holistic gratitude practice:
Specific Gratitude Practice: Focus on one area of your life where you want to shift your perspective or attitude. This could be a relationship, your career, or any situation where a fresh outlook is needed.
Holistic Gratitude Practice: Embrace gratitude as a way to elevate your overall perspective on life, creating a broader sense of appreciation and positivity.
Daily Meditation:
We will be using a simple meditation design outlined below.
Set a Timer: Begin by setting a timer for 5 minutes (feel free to add more time if desired).
Find Your Seat: Sit in a comfortable position, ensuring your spine is tall and aligned. Roll your shoulders up toward your ears, then relax them down your back.
Check-In: Take a moment to notice the current state of your body and mind.
Close Your Eyes: Soften your gaze or gently close your eyes.
Focus on Your Breath:
Breathe in slowly through your nose.
Exhale even more slowly.
If your mind begins to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath.
Reflect: When the timer ends, take a moment to notice any sensations in your body and explore whether any emotions are connected to those sensations.
It’s that simple.
