Feel the Gratitude

3. What are three things that I am most grateful for in my life? Think about major things that have helped to shape you into the person you are today.
4. Write about my gratitude journey. Reflect on how gratitude first showed up in your life or when you began to actively practice it. How have your feelings about gratitude changed over the years?
5. What will I be grateful for next month? Use this question to help you think about what intentions you want to set during the new moon phase.
