Thanksgiving is a time to pause, reflect, and appreciate what we have. Studies show that practicing gratitude can improve mental well-being, build resilience, and increase happiness. Here are a few ways to bring gratitude into your holiday:

Morning Gratitude Moment:

Take one minute each morning to reflect on one thing you’re thankful for. It sets a positive tone for the day, even if it's as simple as your morning coffee.

Reflect on Wins:

At the end of each workweek, note three accomplishments you’re proud of, big or small. You can do this in a notebook or use The Flow Agenda’s weekly review section prompts to document your wins. This will help you savor your personal growth and progress every week. 

Gratitude Jar with Kids:

Place a jar in the kitchen and have each family member drop in a note with something they’re thankful for once a week. Share them as a family on the weekend.

Thank You Texts:

Send a quick thank-you text to a friend, family member, or coworker who has been helpful to you this week. Expressing appreciation to others is a great way to fill others people’s love tanks, as well as your own.

Bedtime Reflection with Kids:

During your child’s bedtime routine, share one thing you’re grateful for and invite them to do the same. It’s a lovely way to end the day together.

 

Creating a gratitude habit is an impactful way to bring more joy into your life, especially during this busy holiday season.
