Gratitude is Everything
Reflecting on the connection between my own emotional states and responding physical condition, it is easy to see how an attitude of gratitude could make a big difference. When I feel stressed or tense, my neck and shoulders get tight. When I'm nervous or fearful, my stomach is in knots and it's hard to get a good breath. But when I feel grateful, my heart opens, my shoulders relax, and I breathe deeply and easily, connecting to the best that is within me and others.
Today I am grateful for so many things, and maybe gratitude itself most of all. What are you grateful for?
