This Thankful Thursday, as half of California is without power, we shares this well lit photo of Playa de la Concha in San Sebastián, Spain 🇪🇸 at dawn with a quote from a famous novelist, William Faulkner: “Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity. It must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.” Gratitude can be cultivated through the habit of reflecting on what you are grateful. It starts with appreciating every good thing in life and recognizing that there is nothing too small for you to recognize. Negative or difficult situations can even help one to identify what brings them joy. Rather than focusing on disappointment, focusing on blessings can move one from despair to peace. In a similar way, happiness can be cultivated through gratitude, being in and around water 💦 or doing good on a regular basis. #thankfulthursday #bluemind #bluemindlife #dogoodfeelgood #happinesshabits #sansebastian (at Playa de la Concha.

Horse packing into Deer 🦌 Creek in Emigrant Wilderness was a splendid way to round out this year’s Blue Mind Challenge this Labor Day Weekend. The heavy snowfalls fed stunning meadows loaded with wildflowers. Lakes were warm enough to swim. Stars ✨ reflected in the lakes at night and trees 🌲 by day. Granite bowls made majestic backdrops for watercolors. Being in and around water 💧 has been scientifically proven to increase happiness & wellness and so does doing good. #bluemindchallenge #emigrantwilderness #bluemindlife #labordayweekend #laborday (at Emigrant Wilderness) https://www.instagram.com/p/B171zQ4g2dD/?igshid=1xhc61d1rxcf5
