“You don’t have to be a writer to have this practice [of gratitude[. All you have to do is be open to listening and getting to know yourself.' Author Alex Elle has a few easy tips on incorporating this mindset into your daily life
Even Elle admits that, at times, it’s been hard to maintain gratitude over this pandemic year. “I was putting myself last because I had my family and so many other things to worry about. I was not practicing what I preached online and, in turn, my mental health suffered,” she says. “I needed to find a practice that would allow me to come back to center and be present with what’s in front of me right now.” Keeping a gratitude journal helped her do that.
“I want people to come as they are,” she says of her hopes for those tuning into the gratitude meditations. “You don’t have to be a writer to have this practice. All you have to do is be open to listening and getting to know yourself. My main piece of advice is to allow yourself to be flawed in the practice, and don’t take yourself too seriously, because there’s no right or wrong way to show up.
