Gratitude Morning
Before your feet hit the floor, name three things you are grateful for. This rewires your brain to start the day from abundance rather than anxiety.
Steps
Before getting out of bed, close your eyes and take three deep breaths
Name three specific things you are grateful for — be precise, not generic
Feel each one — don't just think it, experience the gratitude physically
Set one intention for the day based on what matters most
Open your eyes and begin your day from a place of appreciation
