The meaning of Gratitude:
Gratitude is a helpful practice in all aspects of life. Practicing Gratitude is about focusing on what's positive in life and being thankful and appreciative of what we have.

What are some ways that you can practice Gratitude in your life?
Implementing a Gratitude practice is one of the most beneficial things you can do within a self care routine. Try starting a Gratitude Journal where you list 3 things you are grateful for each day. Challenge yourself to focus on the good in every situation and to show gratitude to those around you. Show gratitude to yourself by implementing a self care routine into your daily life. Let yourself know how much you truly LOVE yourself.
