MPDR Archives Blog Post #787 - Nov 24, 2016

Bring grateful attention
to the sensations
of your following three breaths
flowing in and out
of your body

 "In the face of demoralization, gratitude has the power to energize.
In the face of brokenness, gratitude has the power to heal.
In the face of despair, gratitude has the power to bring hope.
In other words, gratitude can help us cope with hard times."

-Robert Emmons
excerpt from post 
How Gratitude Can Help You Through Hard Times

"When you go deeply into the present, gratitude arises spontaneously,
even if it's just gratitude for breathing,
gratitude for the aliveness that you feel in your body.
Gratitude is there when you acknowledge the aliveness of the present moment."
-Eckhart Tolle


"Living in the moment brings you a sense of reverence for all of life's blessings."
-Oprah Winfrey


"Reflect upon your blessings"
-Charles Dickens
