One of the greatest gifts in life is to be thankful and appreciative for what we do have, not what we don’t.
They say when someone struggles with hard times in life that if they will list 10 things they are grateful for and repeat saying it every day for a few weeks, they will be amazed at how much happier they are and how appreciative they are to even be alive.
Life has been very tough for most of us these last few years, beyond comprehension at times. And even this last hurricane that ripped through the ocean and blasted upon Florida and other states, so many homes and people’s lives completely devastated. It’s so humbling how in an instant, our lives can be completely changed with no choice of our own.
What I have found in life though is the ability to respond to that circumstance, whatever it is, is what affects the experience for each person.
Learning how to not internalize it as this horrible thing happening to you but realizing that tough things do happen in life and that we can choose how we are going to process the experience of what that means to us. Proof of that is some people can go through the same exact situation and have a totally different experience.
So this month being the month that many Americans do think about what they are grateful for, I encourage you to really take that to heart. To think about how grateful you are to even have a roof over your head, power in your home, fresh water to drink and a car to drive, those are all many things that thousands still do not have where the hurricane hit. It’s intense and surreal when you think about how delicate life is and how those types of things can happen to any of us.
I encourage you this Thanksgiving month, to think about those 10 things that you are truly grateful for.
Even though they may even be the simple comforts in life that we get so accustomed to having that when they are taking from us, we then realize how truly grateful we are to have them. Even thinking about something with your health, what are you grateful for about your health? Sometimes when you can stop and appreciate where you are, you can have the courage to do something to get yourself to the next level.
As you enjoy Thanksgiving, do make sure you are not consuming way more calories then normal, for many days in a row with get togethers or left overs. It’s not that one meal once a year that makes people gain weight. It’s all the multiple times leading up to that day, then after that day of continuing to overconsume food. And be careful how much sugar you consume for that can totally suppress the immune system which is one reason why people get sick more often at the end of the year.
