In the hustle and bustle of our modern-day lives, our reasons to be grateful can often get lost in the blur. But taking time each day to reflect on the positive aspects of our days can help us to shift perspective, feel better, and focus on the joy in our life.

Today, take a moment to reflect on what you can give thanks for, whether it's as deep as the love of friends and family or as simple as the view from your window.

Try the Everyday Gratitude meditation in the Headspace app to begin harnessing the power of gratitude. Get Started today with your FREE headspace subscription included through your VECCS membership here https://work.headspace.com/veccs/member-enroll.
