How often do you reflect on things you're grateful for? Do you take a moment in your day to remind yourself of your intentions? In today's society, it's really easy to get caught up in the rush of the day, week, month, and year! With more than half the year behind us, we wanted to take some time in this episode to reflect upon what we're truly grateful for. Finding moments of gratitude in our day can be easily overlooked, so tune in to hear about how we continue incorporating gratitude into our daily life.
