This morning Nash came and sat next to me on the couch with such intention and looked up at me, as he does many times a day. I started crying. It was so sweet my emotions couldnβt. I remembered Iβm in my luteal phase, and I sat there in gratitude for being able to experience all the emotions that come with the different phases of my female hormones. Funny enough, my period came moments later.Β π₯² Womenβs hormones never cease to amaze me.Β πΈ The more Iβve learned about all the highs and lows of them Iβve gained such a deeper appreciation of them. Even the lower parts of the hormone cycles that arenβt quite as fun as the follicular phase (if you know what I mean π). Iβve recently been in this mental state of deep gratitude. I find myself in the middle of something, like on a run or crying about how sweet Nash is, and pausing and feeling grateful for being able to experience this thing. Being grateful for the phase in life I am now. It may not be where I want to be or where I thought Iβd be by now in certain ways, but Iβm still so genuinely grateful! How do you find yourself pausing and practicing gratitude?π
