“Gratitude feels a lot like joy in that it is a state of being. I think the beingness of joy is an openness and to be able to accept the gifts of what is in the present, regardless of your circumstances. We can be in sadness and we can really be struggling AND we can also experience joy. I think what happens when we’re in sadness and when we’re struggling is it feels hard to open up to those things, to be able to recognize them, to be able to accept gifts in that moment because we are so entangled with the struggle, or we’re so entangled with the sadness. This is something I talk to my coaching clients about – which is an over-identification with sadness, with struggle. Yes, these things happen, we have these emotions. But when we start to over-identify with them, we start to cultivate them out of nothing, or to cultivate them out of memory“.
