#125 Gratitude (Quality 11)


     "Gratitude = The quality of reverence, appreciating and being thankful for the present moment."

     Gratitude, like the other mindfulness qualities or attitudes, comes naturally through mindfulness practice. One can also intentionally generate gratitude by thinking of things one feels fortunate about. Regardless of how gratitude arrives, one should notice how one feels while being grateful vs for example feeling hard done by. Doing more of what feels good would seem reasonable.
