Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you”; it’s about feeling the fullness of what’s already here. Take a moment to reflect on the following prompts to guide you in identifying things to be grateful for. You can meditate or visualize these things, or you can journal about them. Enjoy!

Our bodies are not meant to be in fight-or-flight long-term, but due to the fast paced busy lives many of us lead, we can become stuck in fight-or-flight, which is bad for our physical and mental health.

If you give yourself all day to finish something, chances are it’ll take all day. Try setting time limits, prioritizing what matters, and giving yourself permission to stop. Productivity isn’t about working more—it’s about working smarter.

Emotions and moods may feel similar, but they’re not the same. Emotions are intense, short-lived reactions to specific events—like frustration when you hit traffic or joy when you see a friend. Moods, on the other hand, are more long-lasting and less tied to a particular trigger. You might wake up feeling “off” without knowing why. Recognizing the difference can help you manage your emotional well-being with more clarity and self-awareness.
