<\/p>\n“Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yellow Sweatshirt<\/a> | Yellow Pants<\/a> | Hat<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I take baby steps every single day to lead a more gratitude filled life.<\/p>\n It is easy to lose focus on what’s really important, when life is filled with too much distraction. Simple to forget what brings the happiness that lasts longer than a day + for me, it’s that never ending to do list that distracts me the most. It never ends. Working towards an attitude of gratitude helps me slow down. Sweatshirt<\/a> | Hat<\/a><\/p>\n Each night before I go to bed, I write down a few things that made me “remember” my breath that day. Things that kept me in the moment + made me feel deep gratitude for what is right in front of me. It’s changed my perspective. Fine tuned my mind to search for things + feelings that keep me grounded. It’s amazing what a small perspective like ‘gratitude’ can do for you. It’s been my word this year + it has flipped my world upside down.

Life is busy for me right now + some days I go to bed so tired I don’t think I’ll be able to wake up the next morning. I don’t like to complain – Between you + me, when I go a little more silent on IG it’s because I’m in a negativity funk. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS something to be grateful for.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theparrishplace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/IMG_8977-2.jpg\")
