Practice Gratitude: Elul 21

Teshuvah is often grounded in regret, but it can also be rooted in gratitude. To take notice of what is good, to give thanks, and to honor the gifts we receive can turn us back toward God and one another. We can focus on what we want to change and what we want to keep.

What are three things you are grateful for today? Write them, say them, share them. Let gratitude anchor your return.

Kavanah: Root your teshuvah in gratitude.
