How to Give Thanks

Thanksgiving is the perfect reminder to be grateful and give thanks for all our blessings.

Even on our worst days and during our most trying times we have so much to be thankful for.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…you don’t have to wait for Thanksgiving to show and give thanks.

By starting each day with gratitude, we are able to flip our perspective on life and the day ahead. An attitude of gratitude can shift your entire outlook.

A few ways I like to give thanks daily and express my gratitude:

  • I write down 3-5 things I’m grateful for each day

  • I verbally share my thanks with those around me

  • I quietly say 3 things I’m thankful for before I meditate

Find a way to express your gratitude, something that works for you. From experience I can say that writing it down or saying it out loud can be very powerful, and it will actually help shift your nervous system into a more parasympathetic state.
