Exploring the Depths of Gratitude

Gratitude can lead to overwhelming feelings, causing people to shy away from it. The key is to recognize when gratitude is slipping away and be grateful for the awareness of it. It's essential not to view gratitude as an obligation, which can drain the joy out of it. Feeling overwhelming gratitude can trigger the fear of losing freedom and identity. It's crucial to allow time to digest these emotions without rushing the process. Overwhelm usually stems from resisting gratitude, not the gratitude itself. Gratitude fosters gentleness and allows for a pace that is conducive to productivity, even if it may seem slow.
