Ep 41 - Attitude with Gratitude from Jerusalem

Today I am coming to you from Jerusalem, Israel. I am spending the holidays with my family which I am so grateful for. We are participating in a few fasts and I wanted to share with you the gratitude that I have found THROUGH the process of fasting.  I am not naturally someone who loves to fast. However, when I was walking through my darkest points in my mental health journey I literally could NOT eat. I realized through this fast how grateful I am that I have the choice now to participate in a fast as opposed to my body rejecting food. Another thing that I wanted to share with you is how I have been practicing finding gratitude in my frustration. During my travels, it is easy to become agitated over things that are different than what I am used to. However, I want to be grateful even for things that are different or hard. When we choose gratitude over frustration, our bodies literally change. We also discover that gratitude is a GIFT. It is like a switch that can change everything. It takes a while to practice before it becomes a part of our lifestyle, but once we get a grasp on it...it can be the biggest blessing. We would love to hear your thoughts on this topic!
