One Minute Speaking Challenge: Gratefulness.

If you define gratefulness you'll see various definitions such as: 

A feeling of thankfulness and appreciation or

A recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of something or 

Gratitude is generally viewed as a positive emotion associated with well-being, joy, and contentment.

You can choose your own version for it.

The point of this exercise is to let you loosen up (Become less tense or stiff) towards your achievements, successes, results and connect to your Spiritual Heart.

Listen to the recording and enjoy the moment!

In the moment for the moment,
Anatoly

“In the moment for the moment” suggests focusing entirely on the present, and not dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. It implies a state of mindful awareness and complete engagement with whatever is happening now.
