Blossoming Through Change: Embracing Gratitude

Change is scary.

Lately, I need to make a lot of changes…

I need to change my thoughts.

I need to change my actions.

But mostly, I need to change how I approach life.

The changes I need to make are deeper than just changing habits. I need to change how I communicate with myself and how I communicate with the world around me.

I need to uproot my life like a weed that has been growing for far too long and fill that empty space with gratitude.

I’ve been so focused on goals and optimizing my life, that I never stop to be grateful for where I am and the blessings I already have.

I never acknowledge my health, my safety, or my access to nature.

I never acknowledge my youth, my family, or my access to food and water.

I never acknowledge how unbelievably blessed I am.

It’s always about getting ready for the next thing.

But “the next thing” is bound to disappoint if we never find the beauty in this moment.

“The next thing” will consume our mind, body, and soul until they rot away to nothing.

Gratitude for what is holds the answers to so much of what we are chasing in the future.

We just need to pause and flip our perspective to truly see it.

Keep inspiring,

Nicole
