Gratitude and Appreciation

Gratitude and Appreciation

I’m grateful for my lord and savior Jesus Christ my family and friends my job and my man. I appreciate everyone helps me out when I’m stressed 😩 out. Thank u hope everyone has a wonderful day.🌹🌞

Is this life worthy of being lived?

A question I made before going to bed last night. Thanks to this meditation and the happy memories it reminded me of, the hope it made me feel, I can answer now with a big smile: Yes, it is.

Looking for the good

Being mindful means looking for the good in others and ourselves. We think about all the bad and sometimes lose sight of all the good that happens all over the world.

Gratitude

So important in our lives! Appreciating experiences, time with our loved ones, people important to us. Valuing and attending to these blessings, these sparks in our lives!

Mindful

Being mindful of the job change process and stress that comes with it even knowing it is a good decision.

Being grateful

I have many good things happen to me and I need to work on cherishing them and really enjoying them as they happen.

So much beauty

There are so many beautiful people in this world. The news and social media focus heavily (although not entirely) on the all the bad out there, that i forget to pay special attention to the good.

Today

Maybe not all things that happen to me are not bad after all...

Gratitude

I learned that nothing BIG has to happen to be grateful something as simple as a kiss is something to be grateful for ❤️

Gratitude for good and bad

I feel it is healthy to be grateful for all experiences - good and bad. If it were not for the bad would you be where you are today?

It's the small things

I learned that focusing on the small pleasures of life not only increases the value of the moment but also offers future appreciation when reminiscing.

Thankful Thursday 1-25-18

My gifts are everyday waking up to this beautiful world and enjoying each breathe I have in it. My friends and family that want to be in my life and enjoy my peace. Thank you, Aura. Have a good day, Everyone!😀

Focusing on the goos

I can’t focus only on the bad things. Good things, big or small, happen all the time and I don’t even realize.

Snapshots

I learned that it is beneficial to take snapshots of things you are grateful for along the way as to be able to go back to them.

Appreciation for the little thing

Showed me how to recall good moments/things that happen and to bring up those warm fuzzies and remember that life isn’t all bad.

Small things

I learned that no matter how small an experience is, as long as it is a positive one, we can use it to recall and put ourselves in a good mood whenever its needed

Appreciation

Every good moment I have is a treasure, If I don’t value them I won’t feel happy in life.

sunshine on my shoulders

the morning was cold and foggy you could feel it in your bones but the day unfolded like a blooming flower sun burned the fog away by the time we finished lunch it was warmer outside than the kitchen I took my coffee on a chair in the back yard the sky was a pristine blue my old skin tingled with the luxurious warm rays of the golden fireball “and if I had a day that I could give to you I’d give to you a day just like today” - J.D.

Gratitutde

I learned that the good moments are always there, even if it doesn’t feel like it in the moment.

Treasuring grateful moments

I learned to embrace and remember good things that have happened to me and to remember to be grateful, and to also expect good things in future and learn to appreciate them happening and to enjoy those moments.

Positivity’s

I learned that there’s always something good that goes by on our day to day life, perhaps there’s something bad too, but keeping the good ones remind us that there is hope and happiness within us

Fate

Being around others helps me feel positive about moving forward on my path.

Gratitude in remembering

I learned that I can experience the same emotions from a previous outing at the park with my family by recalling the sights and sounds of that outing and focusing on those emotions.

Small things

It’s easy to be grateful for the big, exciting things in my life. It’s much harder to remember that the small things are just as important too.

Road trip

Took a short road trip today to a place that I love; I visit there periodically and would love to live there some day. My family used to go there when I was a kid and through my teen years. I am so grateful for those years. Now I savor the memories of that place and my loved ones who are no longer with me, but shared my joy with me. I am happy and sad at the same time. 💙🌷

Issues: gratitude

Had trouble with Aura this evening. Couldn’t get a session to complete earlier. Finally, on the advice of Friend Patty, tried this session and it worked! Glad for that...didn't want to break my streak here for mindful days with Aura. Thanks Patty!❤️

sadness

to appreciate the little things in life and don’t dwell on the small things that don’t matter

Sad

I learned nothing because even is always telling you these things

Little things in life

You need to take anything and everything positive in your life and really appreciate it weather it’s small moments or actions appreciat it

Stressed

I learned that I have to take things as they come good or bad and be grateful for all I have

:)

I felt happy and just lucky that I got to experience these nice things.

The second you put your mind on a specific thought,it starts to multiply

The second you put your mind on a specific thought,it starts to multiply и оттам се променя и емоционалното ни състояние В момента,в който си спомних моменти,в които съм била адски щастлива,че чак ме е болял корема от смях,разбирам че дори и тогава да съм имала притеснения и съмнения в дадения момент,when i reflect on it now,I see that there’s no better place to have been Било е прекрасно.And I appreciate it 💞

Good things

I’ve found myself focusing on the bad things in life recently. How there is so much negativity that goes on. But how easy it can be to focus on the good things, and how quickly it made me feel lighter... happier.

This is amazing

After listening to this I really realized how wonderful my life is going right now

day 2

you should pay attention to every little thing that happens. i felt very calm and collected although i did have trouble thinking about something good that happened to me.

Greatfulness

I learned that i should be more greatful in life for smaller things and not stress out to easily

Dwelling on good

It feels good to notice good things and dwell on them for a little while. Usually they get dismissed so quickly.

Find the good.

Focus on the positive makes my spirit feel lifted, and my heart feels more full. I want to always make others feel the same... reflection/mindfulness on how I can go about tomorrow and lift up another.

Ont i huvudet

Kan inte koncentrera mig för fem feta, tror jag har hjärnblödning och trycket i hjärnan är stort. Kan inte ligga på höger sida den onda tinningen

I learned that practicing mindfulness during work helps relieve my anxiety

I feel much calmer working meditating into my daily activity

Gratitude

I need to be more focused on the small things people do, rather than the big ones.

Session 4

This module really helped me realize how many things I take for granted every day. I need to stop and appreciate the present a little more instead worrying about the future.

Something better

Just taking the time and giving a chance to support others goes a long way. There will be times that appreciation is the payment. Today I supported a friend at his concert and I knew he appreciated me supporting his dream. Little did I know that I received in return. Their songs spoke to me. Instead of keeping my money I was given Something Better.

grateful

i am grateful i can see, taste, touch, hear, and laugh and smile and talk

Nostress

I noticed that after aura,I have no stress at all.I’m feeling more relaxed than ever before

Gratitude

This practice will only help me when I am not in a depression, as if i am not able to find any positives, I become more depressed.

Remember

We always tell ourselves to remember the little things in life, the reason we always forget this is because the things that we believe are the big/more important things in our life keep our minds busy even when they shouldn’t. Ergo, it is important to allow our mind a break from anything else, so that the little things can come pouring into our memory.

Appreciating

My mother’s smile and laughing with my sister. Helped me shake off a stressful day.

Mixed Nuts

Just before my meditation my wife came home from the store with a little surprise for me. She got me a bag of mixed nuts. It was such a thoughtful and tasty gift! It was a perfect penultimate pleasure prior to my meditation!

Grateful

I am grateful to be me. I will value myself, even if others decide not to. I am grateful for heartache. Softly, slowly, I will grow because if it.

Nice practice

I definitely have a hard time noticing my own goodness and appreciating the little things have been difficult in recent months. This was a nice practice

A Great Reminder

I must learn to focus on the positives, because life has full of them.

I’m stress out !!

I’m going through Final exams, so I’m feeling tired, afraid, nervous and not concentrate. Maybe I should work harder and study will to avoid such a feeling. I wish everyone a GREAT MORNING <3”

Realizing my own gratitude

It took me only a couple of seconds while meditating to think of positive things to appreciate, which is proof that I have much to be grateful for.

Me

I felt very good it helped me relax and get ready for bed.

Meditation 14

After 2 days of very little sleep, lots of anxiety and stress for the school this moments of meditation are pure gold

Gratitude,Appreciation :)

When I listened to this it made me feel good inside, 2 good things happened to me recently this week and remembering them made me smile. This helped me relax and appreciate the good things in life

Noticing

I learned that we could be more grateful and appreciative if we notice the good things even the smallest ones that happen to us and keep them as memories.

Appreciation

I learned to try to find and appreciate the good things in each day! There are still good and kind people in the world!

gratitude

I learned that it’s important to appreciate the good in everything, instead of dwelling on the bad. The world is seen in a much better light that way and it makes me happier overall.

Gratitude

I realized that I was having difficulty coming up with something I had done for somebody else. I don’t think I am unkind, but I don’t think I allow myself to take credit for things, even if it’s just to myself. I will try to do a better job of being kind and accepting that it’s ok to feel good about doing a good deed.

Thankful

I started to think about what I could do with the gift of time I’ve been given

I felt calm & relaxed & mostly in the moment.

I learned to remember the good times, happy moments, and focus on the feels of it. Savor in the memory and be invigorated by the little joys...of course, to be mindful & present in it as well.

Appreciate

It’s important to take a minute to remember something pleasant that I experienced. It’s calming to the soul...as opposed to recalling the bad things that make me anxious.

Something to think about

Next time something good happen, something that makes me happy or grateful, I’ll try to remember that, to make it a memory I can think about whenever I feel sad or anything else.

Gratitude and Appreciation

I am grateful for this lovely meditation. I loved the encouragement to savor the moments of gratitude and appreciation. When I think of savoring something, I think of really taking pause and appreciating the moment or circumstance. I also appreciated the gentle sounds of nature in the background, the babbling stream and the occasional birdsong. I realized how soothing that was to my overall experience.

I noticed

that I smiled at a joyful memory for the first time in a while

Grateful

This activity not only helped me fall asleep but it also made me think about the positives. It made me become a little more grateful and appreciative of the small things.

The good things in life

I need to enjoy the moment and pay more attention to it! And when needed to can go back and remember a good moment

What exists as minor is really major

I noticed that I often take minor note of things that can actually make a major difference in my mood. I learned it’s extremely helpful and nourishing to the soul to savor the good moments that occur each day and emphasize on these good moment when looking back on the day. How was your day had a whole new meaning.. :’)

Making note of the good things...

I’ve been keeping a list of things that have happened lately that are wicked awesome. Writing them down and reflecting on them when I feel myself out of alignment has really helped. It can be small things like receiving a free week of yoga classes or paying attention to the dance of leaves as they fall from the trees. There is something to be grateful for and appreciate every day if we allow ourselves but a moment to recognize it. #levelUp #love&light

Thoughts

I really enjoyed thinking about the good things in life because it made me feel better and reassured me that there are good things I just have to look for them. I want to start a list of good things that I keep daily.

Gratitude

I learned that once I focused on a nice small good thing that happened to me, more memories of good and nice things came up. It almost always involves nature and friends (or random acts of kindness, the cookies being send to me, red rock open space And the kids playing with the small acorns and discovering that place with Esther.

Popping wheelies

Tonight we walked circles in a stroller. When we would come to a bump I would lift the front wheel off the ground. My daughter would squeal with delight. Soon she was requesting wheelies. We played like this for most of the visit.

This one of my favorite practices

I learned how to be grateful with this practice I love it how that there are more like this

trash

this lady got a speech impediment or something why she sound so funky.

Haply

I learned that mediating has made me happier. I changed the background on my phone to make me happier and I have focused more on my self to make me happier. It feels really nice. I also have not had any quarrels with my parents about my attitude, so that’s extremely good🙃

Day 31

I’ve listened to this one many times. So essential to feel grateful for some little blessings you might not have acknowledged at first.

Simple trip

I learned that something as simple as going to see a movie with a friend can be the highlight of the week and mean more than it would seem to mean

Be happy

You need to be happy with what you have and enjoy it! Don’t complain and wish for things. Be greatful for what u have.

I tried to sleep

I did this because I couldn’t sleep, but it didn’t work at all, I still can’t sleep! But if it works for others, maybe you should try it. It just didn’t work for me, I won’t suggest you to listen to this if you try to sleep..

Worry about Work

I used this mindfulness session because I’m feeling slightly overwhelmed at uni at the moment. This isn’t because I’m not working hard, but because I’ve just met a girl that I like, so I’m trying to get back to my balance where I can get work done and see her without feeling guilty that I should be working more. I also feel that I’m struggling to fit in all of the training sessions that I need to fit in for triathlon training. It’s getting difficult to organise my time, and I’m starting to think that something needs to give...

Relieved

For a few moments I felt my shoulders relax and stay relaxed. Such a difference when we notice areas wherewe hold stress

Gratitude

Just happy to be here. Seeing the beauty that’s around me. Namaste

Gratitude and Appreciation

Focus on the good things and you will begin to realize how many good things you have in your life.

So much to be grateful for

It can be so easy to forget to be grateful and to appreciate the little things, but thanks to the wonderful guidance in this meditation (I did the 7minute version) I found so many things to focus on to be grateful for: meeting my new cousin and giving him a cuddle and remembering the amazing new baby smell and as he gazed upon the piercings in my face 😂 what wonder and curiosity of this new life. Then gratitude of going to my friends yesterday to be well enough to help her with simple things of laundry and making her a cup of tea but in return I got to have hugs with her and her son and play with her kitten. Then to think about the world in general and be grateful for where I live in relative safety but be so grateful for all the goodness that has been shown by people and charitable organisations during the recent bushfires ravaging Australia. My thoughts are with you all.

Moving on up

Today I felt better. One day, one thing at a time. There are so many things to be grateful for, if we take the time to notice them, the negatives start to fall away.

Focusing on Goodness

Every day we can at least find one thing to appreciate and be grateful for. Settling into a comfortable sitting position while focusing on my breath, Jiva’s soothing voice guides you to visualize a couple of moments where you felt gratitude. Yesterday, my husband left for a long weekend scuba trip which I am grateful for the peace and solitude I will experience for the next few days. Moments like these renew my spirit. In the evening, the weather was absolutely perfect to enjoy my dinner outside. I enjoyed watching the birds, listening to an owl, and watching the clouds float by in the sky. My mind was completely in the present moment. After dinner, I enjoyed a hot bath in our jacuzzi tub while reading a brain candy book. Experiencing moments like these I am truly grateful. When we focus on the good in our life as well as sharing our goodness with others, we see our life full of abundance. It shifts our focus from what is lacking to what is good. May you find many things to appreciate and be grateful for in your life today.

Relaxing and Heartwarming

Relaxing, calming, and heartwarming. Before this meditation, I felt resentful and irritable (a product of speaking to others right after waking up), but after, I felt calmed and mellowed.

Gratitude Meditation

I love this meditation and I really love Jiva's accepting and gentle style. Such gratitude for her work.

Kindness

This wordis a strong value to me, yet I forget to give it too myself. Thank you for this meditation this morning, I found it uplifting and insightful.

Gratitude

I learned that I have a lot of good and love in my life to be happy about.

Gratitude and Appreciation

These are two of the most important things us as humans can learn. Everyday these are the two things I think of when I get up in the morning.

Gratitude

My word there are a multitude of kindness especially in each day. Noticing them in just one day has opened my eyes and reminded me of how fortunate I am, with much to be grateful for. A delightful and uplifting experience. Thank you 😊

Calm

I feel great 😌 just thankful for now and excited for this year. I feel like the old is gone and now I’m ready for the new. 🙃

Quick reminder

This was a great reminder to stop and appreciate the kindness that touches us every day. Namaste
