Ep. 61 Gratitude For What IS
from Parenting Paused Hosted by Leslie Potter
Creating a gratitude practice is BIG in the conscious parenting world, yet in reflecting on my early training in when to express gratitude, it felt more like an obligation. Someone gave me a gift, or did something for me and whether I liked it or not I was expected to say "thank you". It became a learned habit rather than a wellspring of true feeling. I was also trained to only value and be grateful for what was deemed "positive" and reject and demean what was perceived as "negative" by others. In recent years I've experienced another kind of gratitude. As I seek equilibration in my being, including both sides of every experience, the positive and negative. I experience acceptance and appreciation for the totality of what is. Visit the purejoy website to download a free copy of the Safeseat
