Gratitude means thankfulness, counting your blessings, noticing simple pleasures, and acknowledging everything that you receive. It means learning to live your life as if everything were a miracle, and being aware on a continuous basis of how much you’ve been given. Gratitude shifts your focus from what your life lacks to the abundance that is already present. Not only does it feel good to have a grateful outlook on life, but the benefits of gratitude are scientifically proven to affect everything from your relationships to your stress level to the quality of your sleep.
Throughout the month of November we invite you to join us as we practice cultivating a spirit of gratitude in our daily lives—not just on the one day when turkey is served.
Everyday in November, we’ll be sharing our what we are grateful for on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter (follow us if you don’t already!). Please follow along….like, share…do whatever works best for you! Feel free to leave comments with your thoughts on gratitude and any struggles or suggestions you have in regard to leading a grateful life.
