Resilience and Wellbeing : Grateful Windows - A Simple Gratitude Practice
If you are someone who likes to be active, Grateful Windows might be a gratitude practice that works for you. It is a simple practice from our founder Andy, that you can do if you are inside somewhere [although if you’re in an office block that is all windows it might take some time!]
Grateful Windows
Wander round your house [or the building you are in] and stand at each window in turn.
As you look out, think of someone you are thankful for or grateful to.
Repeat this until you’ve looked out of every window.
Grateful Windows and Others
You can take this gratitude practice a step further and text each of the people that you have thought of to say thank you.
Grateful Windows and You
