Gratitude. It sounds simple, right? But here’s the thing: in our fast-paced, always-on world, it’s easy to overlook the power of simply noticing and appreciating what we have. Practicing gratitude isn’t just about being polite or saying thank you. It’s about reshaping how we see ourselves, our lives, and our relationships.

Self-love starts with connection. It’s about tuning in, noticing your thoughts and feelings, and treating yourself with the same care you’d give a close friend. When we neglect this connection, we can get stuck in cycles of self-doubt, harsh inner criticism, or chasing approval from others.
