Welcome to this course on Gratitude. My name is Sean Fargo. I am the founder of Mindfulness Exercises.com. I am a former Buddhist monk, speaker and trainer.
Gratitude is a very important attribute to develop as part of one’s perspective and approach to living. I have seen many suggestions for people to practice gratitude but I have not seen very much offered in terms of teachings in gratitude.
Gratitude is a parent virtue to the other virtues of kindness, generosity, compassion and forgiveness.
The intention of this course is to provide you with teachings in gratitude to deepen your understanding of this important life perspective.
After I answered the questions on the first page of the workbook I realize I have some underlying issues and concerns about gratitude. I generally am a positive focusing person and see the good in things. My concern that came up when I was processing the questions yes I may have learned some dysfunctional uses of gratitude. Growing up and religion I learned that you need to be grateful for everything. It also felt like to me it was a way to not deal with the present what was currently going on in my life. When I think back to those days it felt like sweeping issues under the rug and using gratitude to ignore them. I want to grow my genuine gratitude in life. I think this course will be beneficial to me and help me to weed out that toxic use of gratitude.
Thank you for sharing this, Sandra!
