Take Gratitude Bullet-Point Notes
After choosing your gratitude story, write 3 or 4 short bullet points on a small sheet of paper or in your phone to cue the practice later. Include the struggle or pre-gratitude state, the help or gratitude event, the post-gratitude state, and any emotionally salient elements or how it impacts you emotionally. Read these bullet points as a cue to your nervous system before feeling into the experience.
“Is to find a story that's particularly meaningful for you, and then to just take some short notes, bullet point notes, about maybe list out, for instance, on just a small sheet of paper or in your phone, if that's your preference, just list out, for instance, you know, what the struggle was, what the help was, and something about how that impacts you emotionally.”
