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.
