Welcome to this guided meditation on gratitude (Gratitude)

You ever feel overwhelmed an overworked?
There's too much on your plate
Well I feel this way a lot
But instead of trying to work more and get everything done, I try to shift my perspective
I try to look at life with a positive spirit

You can start feeling more grateful for the good things in life and it will change everything
So let's begin

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and sеttle in to your seat
Imagine that you'rе sitting on a beach in Tahiti, watching the sunset over the ocean
The sand is warm under your feet and there is a gentle breeze blowing
Think about all of the things that make you happy

Friends, family members, food, music, nature

Whatever makes you smile when you think about them, let those thoughts wash over you like waves on the beach
Just thinking about these images may bring a ray of sunshine into your heart
You are here, you are alive, you are breathing and you are able to take in the world around you

It's easy to take this for granted, but I want to encourage you to pause for a moment and see the good in your life
What are you grateful for?
Maybe it's the fact that you have a roof over your head
Or maybe it's the fact that you have all of your fingers and toes and that you have time to be here with me right now, to sit in this moment and listen to my voice
Just notice what comes up for you and when it does, just say thank you
You might not even know why you're grateful until later on
That's okay, just hold each thought in your mind as long as it lasts, and then let it go
You can always come back to those thoughts later if they reappear again down the road

Now, I want us both to take a few more deep breaths together
Thank you, thank you, thank you
Thank you
