I facilitate a weekly mindfulness group that meets in person on Sundays in DC (if you’re interested in learning more, message me /\ here’s the WhatsApp group I use send updates).
I bring this up because the topic for this week was not about gratitude, and my friend Jessica was relieved. There’s a lot of focus on gratitude this season, which is a good thing, but it can be stifling especially when the currents in our life feel like they are going the wrong direction.
That’s partly why I wrote my latest piece in Psychology Today about finding gratitude amidst the turbulence, where I share some of the challenges I’ve faced and how gratitude has helped me — read it here.
