The skill of celebration  ·  name: ______________  ·  date: ________

Deadlines, comparison and worry can take up much of our attention, while ordinary sources of support pass without being named. Gratitude gives some attention to what is sustaining, welcome or good. It does not require anyone to feel positive, ignore injustice or be thankful for a difficult experience.

What we are practising

By the end of this lesson, you can notice small things they appreciate and explain how gratitude can sit beside difficult or unfinished experiences.
