Welcome to Untangle. I'm Patricia Carpice. In today's special edition of Untangle, I'm sharing my morning gratitude practice from our gratitude collection on the meditation studio app. We all have days where it can be challenging to focus on what we're grateful for. We may be busy, overwhelmed with work or family, and the days just speed by.

But it always, always helps us feel better when we can focus on that which gives us joy,

on that which fills our bucket.

This holiday, I wish you much joy, and I hope that you're surrounded by love in whatever form that takes for you.

Now, here's the morning gratitude practice.

Find a comfortable position, either seated or lying down.

If you're sitting down in a chair or on the floor,

I invite you to sit with a straight spine with the top of your head reaching to the sky.

If you prefer the floor or even your bed first thing in the morning, lie on your back with your arms resting gently by your sides.

And while you're breathing, just scan your body for any little aches and pains and breathe

into these areas, sending your good morning energy to them. ...theim. ...you

Oh, Now? Now, let's focus inward on what is most meaningful to you in your life right now.

It's a big question, but a simple one.

It may be your family, your friends, your colleagues, your home,

even your pet. It could be anything that is important to you right now.

We move so fast in our lives that we don't often take the time to stop and take note of

what we're truly grateful for.

Who or what means the most to you.
