Thank you so much for this, Tracy! Each morning, I write out one gratitude and one success. It sets the tone for my day. In December, I burn the "lists" in a fire on the Winter Solstice as a remembrance of the year's blessings. Whatever ritual or habit works for someone, I say "Do it!" Being grateful shifts the energy and brings us to higher ground.
I really love the idea of setting an intention like that. And incorporating it into a winter solstice ritual feels incredibly powerful somehow. Thank you.
I struggled with gratitude for a while. Too preachy, too many negative connotations, something like that. Once I reframed it as appreciation it made far more sense. I think I’ll experiment with doing it as part of my day end. I love the idea of ending the day on a positive note.
I know exactly what you mean and like you, I was resistant to the idea of gratitude for a really long time. It felt a little false and insincere, until I reframed it as things that made me smile or that somehow made my day better.
I'm really trying to develop more of a gratitude practice and this is really helpful. The gratitude jar is a brilliant one. I'm thinking I could incorporate a written version into my daily journal maybe

Yes, Gratitude has been commercialised into a meh word, I like the idea of reframing it as appreciation. xx

That is a lovely way to think about it, thank you for sharing xx

That is a great idea, I recently created a Daily Tarot Journal, and made space on the page for a Gratitude section xx
