Grateful Seeing

Cancer research shows many survivors discover that their cancer journeys give them gratitude for the little things they once took for granted.  Like the smell of freshly mowed grass, summer rain, or the unconditional love of pets.  Gratitude is not just a feeling, but also a choice that becomes a life orientation that has been called “grateful seeing”, or seeing life through a lens of what is working.  Feelings of gratitude, appreciation and other positive emotions better synchronize the heart and brain creating a body-wide efficiency generating emotional balance, and increasing mental clarity and brain function.  Grateful seeing looks at the blessing, learnings, mercies, and protections that are ever present in our lives.  Gratitude turns what we have into enough!  Initiate a grateful seeing practice this weekend.
