Duration:

15-20 minutes

Materials Needed:

• A journal or notepad
• A quiet space
• Optional: calming background music

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths to center yourself. Optionally, you can play some calming background music.
2. Sensory Gratitude: Close your eyes and focus on your senses one by one. What do you hear? What do you smell? What can you feel? For each sense, identify one thing you're grateful for. Write these down.
3. Emotional Gratitude: Think about a recent event that made you feel happy, loved, or accomplished. Relive that moment in your mind, focusing on the emotions it evoked. Write down why you're grateful for that experience.
4. People Gratitude: Think of three people who have positively impacted your life. For each person, write down one specific thing they've done for you and why you're grateful for them.
5. Self Gratitude: Often, we forget to be grateful for ourselves. Think about a quality you admire in yourself or an obstacle you've overcome. Write down why you're grateful for that aspect of yourself.
6. Visualization: Close your eyes again and visualize a golden light filling you as you think about all the things you're grateful for. Imagine this light expanding outward, filling the room, and going beyond, as a symbol of spreading your gratitude to the world.
7. Reflection: Open your eyes and read through what you've written. How do you feel? Do you see any patterns or new insights about what matters most to you?
