Itโs likely youโve been asked this question many times, and itโs likely youโve responded with things you are truly grateful for.โฃ
โฃ
But have you ever answered that question with a list of things about ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช๐ง๐จ๐๐ก๐ that you are grateful for? I know this ๐๐๐จ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ been something I've practiced until recently. I could list names of all the people and things I am grateful for (external), yet rarely--if ever--expressed gratitude for myself, until now. ๐ผ๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฉ ๐ก๐ค๐ค๐ ๐จ ๐จ๐ค๐ข๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ก๐๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐จ...โฃ

โfor a body that communicates and alerts me when I should rest, when I should eat, when I should hydrate. โฃ
โfor the emotional, spiritual, and physical transformations I am choosing to experienceโฃ
โfor challenging myself to create empowering thoughts ๐ซ๐จ ones that sabotage my happinessโฃ
โfor saying no to things that no longer serve me and saying yes to things that doโฃ
โthat I choose to honor my body with movement, nourishment, and rest as an act of ๐จ๐๐ก๐-๐ก๐ค๐ซ๐ and ๐จ๐๐ก๐-๐๐๐ง๐โฃ
โthat I choose to feed my mind with healthy, enriching content that inspires, encourages, motivates and sets me into action โฃ
โthat I choose to set healthy boundaries to honor my space and my timeโฃ
โfor setting higher standards, ones that honor my needs, my health, my emotional state โฃ
โfor choosing the difficult roads, without complete certainty, and dancing with fear by accepting a "knowing" that they are the necessary paths to take.โฃ
โฃ
This isn't an exhaustive list by any means, but it's enough to remind me that I get to choose my happiness by putting my energy into the things & people that serve me well too.โฃ
โฃ
So, my friends, what choices have you made for yourself that you are grateful for? Share them below or DM me for privacy.โฃ
