In an article I was reading on gratitude research, there was this bit:
“So much of gratitude is about one’s perspective and framework for looking at the world and at self. People who tend to be more mindful of the benefits they’ve received tend to focus their attention outward,” (Professor R. Emmons)
A friend of mine called me asking questions about an event that had just happened. She noticed that her usual way of looking at it did not work for her.
We discussed it and ended up with a different angle, a different framework for the event and that created so much lightness.
I am grateful I got to participate in this creation!
