Daily Gratitude - Moments of Connection

Let's take a moment to appreciate

the things that have been

happening in your life recently.

Today's theme is appreciating

moments of connection.

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.

In times of loneliness, busyness,

or isolation, it can be difficult

to feel truly connected to others.

We can go through our days without

really noticing those around us.

When we take time to pay attention to the

ways we can foster and receive connection,

we expand our awareness of those around

us, while also opening ourselves to

experiencing a deeper sense of belonging.

Think of an interaction today where you

felt seen, appreciated, or cared for.

It could have been with someone

you know well, with a coworker

or even with a complete stranger.

It could be simple, a genuine

shared smile, a thoughtful

gesture, or a kind word.

Even if it was very brief, take some

time to think about what was happening

and replay the moment in your mind.

What was going on right before?

What made the moment possible

and how it influenced your day?

What did it feel like to share a

moment of human connection like this?

What felt significant about it to you?

What would it be like to be the initiator

of moments of brief connection like this?

Now with this in mind,

repeat the following phrases:

Thank you for this moment of feeling seen.

Thank you for the person who chose

to care for me in this simple way.

Thank you for all the ways in

which we belong to each other.

Thank you for the invitation to

show others that they belong too.

To end this session, let's

take a deep breath in.

And out.

We'll see you back here tomorrow

for another gratitude practice.
