GRATITUDE MEDITATION
Best for: Shifting focus to positive thoughts and reducing stress, especially during the rainy season and winter months.
START HERE:
Sit comfortably and take deep breaths.
Think of 3 things you're grateful for (big or small).
Visualize them and feel the gratitude in your body.
Repeat: "I am grateful for all that I have.”
🌟 Why it works? Gratitude shifts the brain away from negativity and increases serotonin and dopamine levels.
