Gratitude vs Appreciation

When your gratitude practice begins to feel flat and like a chore to check off your list for the day, it’s time to take it deeper and shift into the practice of appreciation. Gratitude can often come from the mind; the ego saying an obvious, expected thing or experience. Appreciation takes you deeper, shifting you from the mind into the heart, the body, where you can FEEL the energy of the thing rather than simply acknowledging the thing. Allow your gratitude practice to be a somatic one and learn how to make the shift into appreciating what you have in your life so you can feel charged up and leave your appreciation practice buzzing with pleasure.
