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 couldn’t.
I remembered I’m 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. 🥲
Women’s hormones never cease to amaze me. 🌸
The more I’ve learned about all the highs and lows of them I’ve gained such a deeper appreciation of them. Even the lower parts of the hormone cycles that aren’t quite as fun as the follicular phase (if you know what I mean 😉).
I’ve 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 I’d be by now in certain ways, but I’m still so genuinely grateful!
How do you find yourself pausing and practicing gratitude?😌
