Hey, ,

Acknowledging the little things in our lives can be very rewarding.

When having a hard day, week, month, or year, recognizing what you're grateful for or what you find beautiful in life can be essential.

Acknowledgment before you become exhausted can be even more helpful. Making a practice of doing this for yourself when times are good means that it's more likely you can do that for yourself when times are tough.

It can feel like a lot to get started. Even more to continue. Once you do, you've shown love for yourself, and one step closer to making self-care and self-compassion into a ritual. ❤️

Listening to a podcast episode from Brené Brown's Unlocking Us this week allowed me to reconnect with a deep sense of finding and celebrating joy.

I wanted to share it with you.

This episode focuses on Karen Walrond and her book, The Lightmaker's Manifesto: How to Work for Change without Losing Your Joy, where she guides us in recognizing the skills, gifts, values, and actions that bring us joy.

"If you’re struggling with how to be fully connected in your life and feel joy and acknowledge beauty and also fight for the things that we need to fight for right now, this will be a great podcast for you." — Dr. Brené Brown
