Episode Summary:
Join me in this episode to pump the breaks and slow down this Thanksgiving. As the year winds to a close it can be easy to get swept up in the holiday bustle. To be disappointed by missed expectations, comparing your experience to that of strangers on the internet, and ultimately focusing on what we don’t have rather than all that we do.
One of the biggest keys to reviving our life is accepting and being grateful for our present experience no matter how uncomfortable it is.
From here all change we want to create can happen, but not when we are angry, upset, or frustrated with our current reality.
Besides unlocking the possibility for transformation, gratitude practices have a slew of positive health benefits!
According to Positive Psychology, “Simply journaling for five minutes a day about what we are grateful for can enhance our long-term happiness by over 10% (Emmons & McCullough, 2003; Seligman, Steen, Park, & Peterson, 2005)”
Other benefits include, but are not limited to:
- reducing stress and improving mental resilience
- improved quality and quantity of sleep
- Reduction in negative emotions experienced
- Deeper more connected relationships
- More patience and better decision-making
