How to do it:

When you catch yourself getting annoyed with something, ask yourself “What is the gift in this?”

Variation: “What is the teacher in this?”

This ritual gets easier the more you do it.


Why do it:

“Finding beauty within everything.”

The difference between gratitude and suffering is the story we attach to our experience, the perspective WE CHOOSE to see it through. With a little bit of consciousness, we can reframe our experience, uncover the hidden gift, and learn to love what previously got us down.
