Daily Gratitude - Mentors

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 mentors 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.

The world can be a confusing and complicated place to navigate. In our work, our relationships, and life seasons it can be incredibly healing and transformative to find a wise and kind mentor to walk alongside us. Think of a person in your life who showed up at just the right time to guide you through a time of change and growth. Who were they? How did you meet? What was something they said or did that helped clarify your thoughts and show you the way forward? What did it feel like to have someone care for you the way they did? If you could say something to them now, what would you say? Now with this in mind, repeat the following phrases: Thank you for the gift of real mentors in our lives. Thank you for the chance to connect with their compassion and wisdom.

Thank you for the confidence they had in me. Thank you for the opportunity to share kindness with others who might need me. Now, close your eyes and take a couple of minutes to sit with a feeling of gratitude. Pay close attention to how this feels in your body. As your mind wanders, gently bring it back to what you are grateful for today, and notice any feelings of warmth that it brings to you.

When you're ready, open your eyes and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
