A note from Sean
I like to keep a top ten list of moments I can easily feel grateful for, like a moment of connection or one I feel quietly proud of. Reflecting on one near the start of a meditation can help the mind concentrate. Gratitude is one way into a sense of well-being, which lets the nervous system settle so we can stay present.
Try this today. Recall one moment you feel grateful for: someone who cared for you, something you finished, a moment of peace. Let the feeling spread around your heart and chest for three breaths. Then write down one action that would show your thanks, as the worksheet asks.

This suits anyone who wants to feel steadier. If gratitude feels forced, or a loss is close, go gently and choose something small. Stop when you need to.
