Thanksgiving Gratitude

With November already here, Holiday season is right around the corner. This is my favorite time of the year because the holidays bring people together. Starting off with the first great holiday, Thanksgiving! This holiday is one of my favorites because of the great food! Also you can’t deny having the family together is always an interesting experience.
However, not everyone enjoys time with their family, or many don’t have family they can spend time with. The following is a great exercise to practice if you are feeling sad or lonely during this time of the year.
  • For the week of Thanksgiving, list one thing every morning that you are thankful for and the statements cannot repeat. This could be something as simple as, “I have a roof over my head” or “I’m thankful to be alive today.” At the end of the week, read all of them to yourself.
  • Even if you don’t have a family to share Thanksgiving with, try to spend some time with your neighbors, or friends.
  • Cook something special for yourself that you don’t usually make. It doesn’t have to cost much, find a new recipe that you haven’t tried yet, and give it a go!
Be thankful for yourself! You have made it through hard and difficult times. This is a great time to also sit down and reflect on how many difficulties you were able to over come in life!
​
Yay you! Happy Thanksgiving!
