What are gratitude affirmations?
Gratitude affirmations are present-tense statements that train your attention toward what is good and already present in your life. In crystal practice they pair with Citrine, a sunny stone traditionally linked to joy and appreciation.
Gratitude is a muscle. These affirmations strengthen it, especially on the ordinary days when the good things are easy to overlook.
If you keep one stone for this practice, reach for Citrine. You can browse more affirmations by topic, or layer these with a manifestation method like scripting or the 369 method.
