Hello and welcome to the Gratitude Breakfast Club,
A quick morning meetup to
help you jumpstart or maintain your gratitude practice.
We'll make it quick
because we know you have things to do on this beautiful day.
Good morning beautiful
ones and welcome back to the Gratitude Breakfast Club.
Yesterday we talked about
goals achieved and I do hope you found something to be thankful for in each of
the categories we discussed.
Today I'd like us to think about space.
Not the
final frontier familiar to Trekkies,
But our physical,
Mental,
And emotional space
right here on earth.
When I was growing up in the Bronx,
New York,
I very much
wanted to have my own room.
But as the youngest and with a house full of
siblings and cousins coming and going,
It took a while for that to happen.
But
happen it did and that solo room was a delight.
It came with additional
responsibilities of course,
Which were sometimes really hard for my young self
to handle,
But it was worth it to me.
I happen to be someone who likes being
alone and doing things solo.
I hike and camp and go to the movies and the beach
and to restaurants alone,
Thinking nothing of it.
But even if you're someone
who loves sharing a room,
An apartment,
Or a home with many others,
We all need
space to regroup,
To collect our thoughts,
And be our best selves.
And as I am a
parent who didn't get to go to the bathroom by myself for a very long time,
I know not having that space takes a toll,
Even when it's for the very best of
reasons.
So today,
I'd like you to think about
what the ideal amount of space is for you.
Then I'd like you to think about how
you carve that space out for yourself.
Is it a meditation practice?
Walks in nature?
Exercise time?
Deep dives into good books or shows?
What are you doing and what do
you appreciate about it?
And if you're not carving out the space
you need right now,
Or it's hard to do so,
Then I'd like you to think about what
you would want to do to create the ideal amount of space for yourself.
Take a
moment to imagine and revel in it,
Even before it happens.
As you imagine how
good it will feel to have your space,
I am trusting that inspired action will
come to you on how to achieve it.
With love,
Appreciation,
And gratitude,
This is
Karen.
