Living a life of gratitude has helped me manage anxiety and introversion – it takes practice, mindfulness, and patience. I started small by looking for vignettes that made me smile, listened for my children’s laughter, thought of ways that I was better off than others; That was two decades ago. Now it’s simply a way I think and live – a state of gratitude and thankfulness. My life feels so full of blessings, this is a part of the path to mindful wellness.
