I believe in expressing gratitude for things in my life–every day if I can. But I also believe in acknowledging sad and difficult things and showing compassion. Life can be really hard sometimes.
When I focus on things I am grateful for, I better see all of the gifts, beauty, and treasure I have in my life. This almost always strengthens my heart. So today, I am so grateful for my beautiful office at work. My husband painted it for me as a surprise while I was on a trip this summer. It is cozy and peaceful.
I also like to be mindful of difficult things and to show myself compassion. I am feeling a little sick and under the weather right now, and I always feel a bit bummed out when that happens. I am showing myself compassion by sleeping, taking it easy, and asking myself if there is anything I can do to help myself feel healthier. When I show myself compassion, I act like a nurturing friend to myself. This also strengthens my heart and fills me with peace.
What are you grateful for today? How are you showing yourself compassion?
Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, but glad to hear you are taking good care of yourself! Your office looks beautiful!
I am grateful for your post: compassion for oneself is not indulgence, it is letting be
Your office looks like a lovely place to be. Today I was grateful for beautiful light. It started out all misty and mysterious this morning and then there were blue skies all day and autumn colours on the trees. Also I am grateful for our second harvest of beetroot!
Oh, and that I have STOPPED sneezing. I have had 3 colds in a row this September!
Your office is beautiful! Gratitude indeed enriches our life. Wish you a wonderful recovery at the soonest! Hope you are able to give yourself plenty of rest and love with utmost ease and joy!
What a beautiful space and how thoughtful of your honey to do this. I hope you are feeling better by now love. Sending a giant hug your way. Xo
