I love Thanksgiving. It’s a time to pause, reflect and open our hearts.
We all have much to be grateful for, especially those of us who haven’t been touched
by the California fires or the many natural disasters around the world. I count my lucky stars everyday.
Expressing gratitude for the people we care about – loved ones, friends, colleagues, employees – comes easily to most of us. It’s much harder to give it to ourselves. The truth is, we can’t rely or expect others to offer us gratitude, we must grant it to ourselves. It’s a muscle we need to exercise and it takes practice.
Ask yourself:
What am I grateful for about me?
When you are truly grateful for who you are, you respect yourself. You love yourself.
You are kind to yourself. You show up for yourself and for others.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving:
Thank you for being YOU.
Thank others who contribute to your life.
Be grateful for the fortunate situations you find yourself in.
Wishing you a heartfelt, connected and very fun holiday!
