Immersed in wonder and awe, and connected to the outdoors by a feeling I can't explain, this first step in my morning ritual reminds me that the world is much bigger than my life and my concerns.
“Grateful individuals have a sense of abundance," according to research by psychology professor Phillip Watkins and his colleagues at Eastern Washington University. "Grateful individuals appreciate the common everyday pleasures of life... appreciate the contribution of others to their well-being.”
Every day is a new opportunity. What would happen if you started each day with a little awe and gratitude? This positive ritual could change your life.
