Morning Mantra: I Am Grateful for Today

Thanksgiving and gratitude go together like turkey and mashed potatoes. Fill your life with an abundance of gratitude with the mantra, "I am grateful for today."

"I am grateful for today." This mantra isn’t just for Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving and November automatically make me think of gratitude, but gratitude is a yearlong, lifelong practice—not just reserved for the holidays or one day a year.

Appreciation, gratitude, thankfulness, however you say it, be grateful for today whatever it brings you.

You can even bring a sense of gratitude with everyday chores like doing laundry. (Stay with me on this.) I’m grateful I have laundry to do, grateful that I have access to soap and water to wash my clothes, grateful that I have a machine that washes them so I can wear them again and again.

There’s a reason your presence was requested to be on the planet at this time. Express your gratitude with everything you do.
