Are you feeling numb, scattered, or stuck in a routine that lacks color? In this guided session, we explore the powerful and transformative practice of gratitude as an antidote to the "grayness" of modern life. Learn how to gently shift your focus from what's missing to the small pockets of grace that are already all around you.

This isn't about toxic positivity or forcing a smile. It's a gentle, intentional act of training your attention—a form of mindfulness that can literally rewire your neural pathways to notice joy, connection, and peace.

In this video, you will find:

• A personal story about moving from feeling "gray" to finding color.
• An explanation of what gratitude practice truly is (and isn't).
• A simple, guided gratitude meditation (join in at [insert timestamp]) to help you find a golden moment in your own day.
• A gentle invitation to carry this practice into your week.

Try the practice with me and share one small thing you're grateful for in the comments below. Your comment might be the fleck of color someone else needs to see today.
