Daily Gratitude - Animals

Let's take a moment to appreciate the things that have been happening in your life recently. Today's theme is appreciating the gift of animals in our lives. As always, if you would like to journal along, you can pause after each prompt to give yourself more time to write and reflect. First, let's take a deep breath in. And out.

Whether you have a pet at home or not, there are many wonderful opportunities to appreciate all the gifts we receive from animals each day. If you have a pet at home, think about a moment you shared today with them. If you aren't a pet owner, think about an animal you may have interacted with today, like a dog out for a walk, or even a funny or heartwarming video you may have seen recently. What was special to you about the moment you experienced or witnessed? What was your response to that moment? What questions would you ask your favorite animal if you could? What qualities in animals do you admire or appreciate the most? Now with this in mind, repeat the following phrases: thank you for all the ways animals make our world better. Thank you for their unconditional love.

Thank you for their unique beauty. Thank you for the ways in which they bring out the best in me. To end this session, let's take a deep breath in. And out. We'll see you back here tomorrow for another gratitude practice.
