At home, I am reacquainting myself with my space and setting things up for the cozier time of year. The lights are dimmer. The blankets are warmer.
Just as we adopt a yoga practice, we can adopt a gratitude practice. It can help support us through transition. It should be simple and doable, but a practice that can sustain us, in the spirit of abhyasa.
What you need: a comfy corner · a candle or soft light · a pen and a journal, or a few pieces of paper.
1. Make a comfy corner. A chair, a corner of the couch, somewhere you already like to be. Leave your pen and paper there, so they are waiting for you.
2. Settle in. Light a candle or turn on a soft light. Take a few easy breaths.
3. Name three things. Write down three things you are grateful for today, or say them aloud. They can be small — a smile from a stranger, a song you love to sing, a call from a loved one.
4. Come back tomorrow evening. Same corner, around the same time.
A gentle note: some days, three things will come easily. Other days you may find only one. One is enough. And if you miss a day, simply begin again.
