A moment for gratitude

April 13, 2021. Morning Walk. Champ de Mars, Paris.

Today is one of those mornings that you are eager to go outside. The air is cool and fresh but there is not one cloud in the sky. The sun is shining, and the energy of Spring is everywhere.

My trips to the park most mornings have significantly changed my experience in Paris. This was one of the very first habits I adopted when moving to Paris over 12 years ago. However, at that time, I didn’t have the awareness that I have now on the importance of keeping our habits going. Over several years, I have been increasing my awareness on the power of habits to improve our well-being. For me, these regular trips to the park have had a positive impact on my ability to focus, productivity and in my overall my mental well-being.

I am grateful for the effort, energy and time I have placed during the past 12 years in exploring how to enrich my everyday life in Paris.

I am grateful for the opportunity to be alive today to see and appreciate these flowers exactly as they are.

What are you grateful for today?
