Ian's Gratitude practice

Gratitude Practice (5-10 minutes)

1. Find a Quiet Space:

• Sit down or lie on a mat in a relaxed position.

• Close your eyes or keep a soft gaze.

2. Deep Breathing (1-2 minutes):

• Take deep breaths in through your nose for a count of 4, hold for 4, and exhale slowly through your mouth for 6.

• Let your body relax with each exhale.

3. Reflect on the Workout:

• Think about something positive from your session (e.g., completing a challenging set, showing up for yourself, or feeling strong).

4. Acknowledge Gratitude (2-3 minutes):

• Reflect on three things you're grateful for.
  Examples:

• "I'm grateful for my health and strength."

• "I'm thankful for the opportunity to improve myself."

• "I'm appreciative of the time and energy to train today."

5. Visualize Positivity (2-3 minutes):

• Picture something you're looking forward to or a goal you're working toward. Imagine yourself achieving it and the happiness it brings.

6. Close with a Positive Affirmation:

• Say a phrase that resonates with you, either in your mind or aloud.
  Examples:

• "I am strong and capable."

• "Every day, I grow better and stronger."

• "I am grateful for my journey."
