Start with Gratitude this Holiday Season
The holiday season is full of joy, peppermint mochas and first snowfalls, but it may also bring up anxiety and difficult feelings for some.
One of my favorite “tricks” to stay in a positive mindset is practicing gratitude. And no, it’s not just reserved for Thanksgiving time.
Personally, I keep a gratitude journal, writing down a few things I’m grateful for each morning. It sounds super simple but this practice has been monumental in my life, and consistently keeps me in check when I’m feeling low or “not enough.”
Want to give it a try yourself? Here are some other ways to incorporate gratitude this holiday season:
- Grab an old mason jar, and create a gratitude jar by dropping in a post-it note each night. Feel free to get the family involved too!
- Before diving into the feast, go around the table at Thanksgiving to share what you’re grateful for
- Start your day with positive affirmations
- Tell a friend or coworker how much you appreciate them, and why
- Pay it forward
Want more? I’m co-teaching a Gratitude Workshop at The Barre CT on 11/30. Enjoy a yoga flow followed by a guided meditation and affirmation workshop with me!
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season filled with lots of gratitude, love and abundance!
