FULL TRANSCRIPT

---------------------

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to our enriching journey with The Gratitude Experiment. I am Pascale Gibon, your guide on this path of discovery and joy. Thank you for tuning in to episode 318 of The Everyday Life Balance Show.

A spirit of gratitude reminds us to be mindful. In this episode, we will explore the harmonious blend of mindfulness and gratitude, focusing on the beauty surrounding us.

As we continue this transformative journey, our theme this week is to be profoundly mindful of our environment by observing and appreciating the beauty surrounding us daily.

According to Jon Kabat-Zinn:

"Mindfulness is the awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally.”

Let me share a personal experience with you. When I cycle through the serene Hyde Park in London, my heart swells with gratitude. I am captivated by the way sunlight dances through the tree leaves, the sight of people joyfully exercising, and the exuberant playfulness of dogs. These moments, seemingly fleeting, are, in fact, deeply regenerative. They remind me to pause, breathe, and rejoice in the beauty of my surroundings.

Amy Colette once said:

“Gratitude is a powerful catalyst for happiness. It’s the spark that lights a fire of joy in your soul.”

How true these words ring! The more I immerse myself in gratitude, the more beauty unveils itself to me. It is a conscious choice. We often hear how negative news tend to dominate the headlines, selling more papers than positive stories. But here, in our space, I want to inspire a shift – a belief that positivity breeds more positivity. It invites reflecting on the universal law that our external reality mirrors our internal thoughts. The more grateful you are, the more happiness radiates in and around you. It is like being in communion with greatness itself.

Now, let us delve a bit deeper. Mindfulness in gratitude is not just about acknowledging what is good; it is about fully experiencing it with all our senses. It is about being present in the moment, feeling the breeze, hearing the laughter, seeing the colours, and understanding that these are not just fleeting moments but essential parts of our lives that deserve our full attention and appreciation.

In this episode, let us explore together:

• How to cultivate mindfulness in daily life to enhance our gratitude.
• Simple mindfulness exercises can help us connect more deeply with our surroundings.
• Stories and insights on how a mindful approach to gratitude can transform our perception of the world.

I also invite you to join me in a weekly challenge. This week, take a moment each day to thoroughly observe and appreciate one aspect of your surroundings that you usually overlook. For example, you could be mindful of the sky high above, the sound of birds early in the morning, or how light plays across your room. Share your experiences with me in our Facebook private group, Awaken Your Authentic Self Community. Let us inspire each other with our discoveries.

As we conclude this episode, remember that gratitude and mindfulness are partners in this dance of life. They invite us to slow down, savour, and be truly present in our lives. Let this mindful gratitude practice open your eyes to the endless beauty of life.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we continue exploring the wonders and power of gratitude. Remember, when you say yes! to love, you say yes! to life. Have a fantastic week filled with mindful gratitude, and remember to embrace the beauty around you.

Lots of love and light to you.
