You made it through 21 Days of Gratitude Buddies!
Well done!
After today, you will have collected 63 different people, places, things that are positive and supportive in your life.
We’re proud of you and all your progress!
You’re headed toward the home stretch now, so if you need to, check in with your buddy about process.
Finally, take some time on this day of reflection to do one or more of the following:
Read through what you’ve written so far and notice if anything stands out; what do you want more of in your life? Does it spark new ideas or paths to take?
Read through what your buddy has written - what made you happy? Notice what you have in common, what’s different; perhaps note what you’d like to experience from their list. Does that spark any new ideas?
Or does their list trigger any unexpected feelings, like guilt or envy? Explore it privately in a journal, or if you have a close personal relationship, perhaps it’s worth discussing together.
Practice today’s meditation, which is about 20 minutes.
Send thoughts on any of the above to your buddy in today’s Reflections. If you are practicing with a Buddy you know well, take this opportunity to share something you appreciate about them!
-
Throughout the 30 Day Gratitude Journey, there are 4 Days of Reflection with a longer meditation: 20 minutes. Obviously, you are welcome to use it as often as you like.
If you are short on time, use the 3 breath practice after you write your list.
Inhale for 5 counts
Hold for 5 counts
On the exhale, call to mind the 1st item on your list.
Repeat with the second and third items
You can also try to add a smile or hand on chest to this practice
