I recently spent time in Bali. I was so impressed by the gentle and generous Balinese. How do they maintain these qualities despite millions of tourists? I think it is the daily practice of offerings - or Canang Sari. Every morning the Balinese make this offering to their hindu gods to give thanks for what they have. The act of making the offering is viewed as an important time for reflecting on what they have to give thanks for. I think this daily practice could be a great strategy for taking care - to help shift our focus from what we think we don't have enough of, to giving thanks for what we have
