My intention is to build a better understanding of what gratitude feels like and I need your help!
I intend to repost this question every day for 21 days (because I believe it is the duration needed to form habits) and add your responses to the posts.
Introduction:
I really want to understand what gratitude feels like to my fellow humans and see the common aspects to the concept.
On April 27th, 2020, I started a search for the answers. What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You? – Day 1; I shared the first response on What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You? – Day 2; shared a little research on What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You? – Day 3; I dug deeper on Day 4 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; let things flow a little more on Day 5 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; push the question on Day 6 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?; & reflect in a new way on Day 7 – What Does Gratitude Feel Like To You?
Expectations:
- a) We will share the positive feelings of gratitude with each other.
- b) We will see common threads that help us define what gratitude is to us.
- c) We will focus on a positive concept and build understandings for better intentions.
