The holiday season is upon us! Whether or not you celebrate and partake in the festivities, this time of year definitely makes all of us more aware of what we have (+ maybe what we don't have), BUT most important, it helps us reflect and give us an opportunity to be grateful AND thankful.
I will be the first to admit, sometimes it is hard! It is hard to practice gratitude when things are not going our way, or when things around us seem all out of sorts. BUT just like everything else, the more we practice it, the more we recognize what we have and how much we can be thankful for, the more we are able to see that cup half full versus half empty! Remember its all about your mindset and acknowledging the positive + good in our lives. ALSO, the more we are able to express gratitude in our lives, the more you are allowing more positive things to enter your life. Don't believe me? Try it!
Start your daily gratitude list today! Write down 5 things your are grateful for today. Now do the same tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after. Make it a habit! But first, let's try to get through the first 5 days. Need help getting started? I linked a quick video below that explains a little bit more on how to start your list (or journal).
