Gratitude is as unique as you are. So, what does gratitude mean to you?

There’s a lot of talk about how gratitude impacts wellbeing and happiness - it’s true. However, you are the creator of this magical power and that means you can also be the destroyer of it.

I’ve shared my experiences about toxic gratitude. It’s the gratitude that comes from “should” and “have to”. Gratitude didn’t improve my wellbeing and happiness until I took the time to learn what it meant to me. Understanding what I was truly grateful for, why and how it made me feel changed my world.

Gratitude is meant to be felt and shared. It is that lump in your throat, tear in your eye, deep down feeling that words cannot explain. It’s the simple, the complex, the big, the small and everything in between. It’s the unexpected smile on your face and a feeling that fills you from within.
