5 Gratitude Practices to Stay Grounded This Season
Gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a grounding, stabilizing practice that brings you back into your breath and your body. At Radiance Yoga in Pittsfield, MA, we believe gratitude is one of the most accessible tools for wellbeing, whether you’re flowing in-studio, practicing with our on-demand yoga classes, or rolling out your mat at home.
This season, explore these five simple, meaningful ways to stay grateful, grounded, and connected to yourself and your community.
1. Start Your Morning With a “Noticing Moment”
Before diving into busy mornings or emails, take a 10-second pause.
Notice one small thing that feels good:
Warmth of your first cup of coffee
Sunlight coming into the room
Slow, grounding breath
The cozy warmth of infrared heat at Radiance
That cold lavender towel at the end of every class at Radiance
This small shift can change the tone of your entire day.
2. Keep a Simple, Consistent Gratitude Journal
A gratitude journal doesn’t need to be perfect or elaborate—just honest and consistent.
Try These Guided Gratitude Prompts:
What small moment brought me joy today?
Who supported me today, and how?
What is one thing about my body I appreciate?
What challenge is teaching me something right now?
Where did I feel connected today—either to myself or someone else?
Pair this practice with a slow, grounding yoga class, deep breaths or meditation to unwind.
3. Practice Savoring in Real Time
Savoring means extending the joy of a moment while you’re in it.
Try savoring when you’re:
Enjoying your yoga practice with infrared heat
Cooling off with a cold lavender towel during savasana
Laughing with family
Walking outside
Drinking something warm and comforting
Pause. Breathe. Notice. Let the moment last a little longer.
4. Create a Gratitude Touchstone
Choose a small object—a stone, bracelet, yoga mat, mug—and assign it meaning.
Every time you see or touch it:
Pause → Take a breath → Feel gratitude for one thing.
This anchors mindfulness into your daily life with ease.
5. End Your Day With a “Gratitude Reset”
Before bed, reflect on:
What went well today?
What surprised me in a good way?
What am I ready to release before tomorrow?
This helps regulate stress, calm your mind, and improve rest.
Pair it with a restorative class or meditation from our On-Demand Yoga Library our YouTube Channel for deeper grounding.
