Hello and thank you for listening to this guided meditation for gratitude and self love. Gratitude helps to bring your focus on to what is already working out in your life versus what is not working in your life. It’s surprising how fast your mood perception and physical body can feel better just by changing what you focus on. Ultimately, gratitude is a form of love. So by focusing on what you are grateful for about yourself and others, you are giving yourself and others love take a moment to note what your mood is on a scale from one to 10.

At the end of this meditation, you’ll check in with how you feel again so you can see how much love you gave yourself. As I say some gratitude prompts during this meditation simply answer with as many things that pop into your mind as you wish it could be one answer or 15. If you can’t think of anything that is okay to just keep breathing and relaxing and wait for the next question. There are no right or wrong answers here.
