Beginning in October 2022, I embarked on a 46 day gratitude practice (from Canadian Thanksgiving through to American Thanksgiving), hosting a live session each day where we did 3 things: movement, learned something or were inspired by someone, and then had a short gratitude practice, often journalling with the prompt coming from what we had learned that day.

If you want to start something, announce it publicly, and host a live expression of it everyday. Or maybe not. That's what I did. Thinking about, learning about, and most importantly practicing Gratitude changed me. I've become more grounded, calm, at peace. I'm more joyful and contented (see week 6).

I've moved this whole experience here into a Vlog so that it can live in this space. I hope it will inspire you to incorporate gratitude in your own life.
