Gratitude

I thought I could indulge in some extra sleep. With that intention, I turned off my alarm and nestled into bed by 9 PM. However, my body had other plans, and I found myself awake before 5 AM. The sky was clear once again, but the irresistible pull of the water compelled me to make my way to the beach.

Sitting in my garden at 8 am, I already feel a sense of fulfillment as if I've experienced a complete day. The clear skies and warm sunshine warms my feet, following a refreshing morning swim with a friend. I've sorted through the photos I captured earlier and chosen my favorite to share with you.

On the occasion of a birthday celebration, it has become a tradition for our group of dipping enthusiasts to mark each other's special day with a sunrise dip.

It's usually an easy choice to decide between watching the sunrise or the sunset, except for one exceptional event I adore: witnessing the sunset followed by the rise of the full moon. This combination is surprisingly rare due to frequent overcast skies and the elusive nature of the moon.

Have you ever wanted to create a digital product but didn't know where to start? Well, I was in the same boat until I discovered the power of Chat GPT. In this blog post, I'll share with you how I used Chat GPT, along with some other steps, to create and launch my very own digital product – a Gratitude Habit Tracker.

I believe we are at the end of the golden age of social media. I used to find gratitude and the ability to use a service for free to stay connected with family and friends, to grow my brand, to meet new people, and to sell my products. It felt like a gift to have all of this at no cost.

Have you ever taken a break from social media? Maybe you tried unplugging for a long weekend or took a break while on vacation. Or perhaps like me, you've never been able to take a proper break. I've been posting on social media since 2007. Until this summer I'd never taken more than a few days off in a row and only a couple of times a year.

The first steps to recovering from burn-out as an entrepreneur is acknowledging that I am burnt out. I resisted this for a long time. I didn’t want to admit that I was in burn-out and thought if I just kept doing more that it would be ok. At the same time, I was feeling a lack of desire to share content on social media. I had been posting between 20-30 different pieces of content on 5-8 platforms DAILY.

Until one day I couldn’t do it anymore. I broke down in front of my husband and told him that I couldn’t physically do any more. My body was in pain, my creativity gone, and my mindset shattered. 

It's not often we have the opportunity to feature another blogger on our site. This post is in line with our beliefs on wellness and filled with gr...

This seems like such a simple thing to do, to wake up with gratitude. Yet for so many of us, starting our day with gratitude isn’t always easy. Imagine how different our world would be if everyone woke up with gratitude instead of frustration, dissatisfaction, complacency, or any other negative emotion. The first few minutes of every day are what sets us up for success and creates the tone for the day.

It’s the end of 2021 and for many, it seems like there’s not much to be grateful for. Having a daily gratitude practice forces us to find things to be grateful for, even when life is filled with challenges and uncertainty. Being specific with our personal gratitude and our gratitude towards others is what will help us get through the next year more easily.

It’s wonderful when we come together with our loved ones and share our gratitude one day of the year. Thanksgiving is a great reminder of the importance of gratitude in our lives. What if we could find simple ways to continue to practice gratitude long after the turkey leftovers are gone, and our guests have returned home?

Here are some of my favorite ways to practice gratitude beyond Thanksgiving. Start with the ONE that resonates with you the most.
After you’ve made it a new habit, you can layer on other ideas and make practicing gratitude a way of life.
