Happy Thanksgiving!
I’d like to pass on a podcast about the impact gratitude has on our life. Not only does thankfulness/gratitude affect us emotionally, but there are also physical benefits. I think you’ll really enjoy this information. It’s presented by Susan Whitcomb on the Professional Christian Coaching Today blog
Here’s the link: Gratitude: the Hidden Benefit of Thankfulness
One of the gratitude exercise ideas Susan shared was called Green Heart Gratitude. The idea is to send a quick text to someone you are grateful for in your life that says: “This green heart represents gratitude. I send it in appreciation for ___________. ” (fill in the blank with something specific about that person) You want to focus on a character strength, attribute, or value that they have. It’s a great way to show your gratitude. Not only will they get a “boost” by you sharing with them, but it actually gives you a boost as well. Try doing that every day for several weeks and see how it impacts you. Susan explains it in the podcast and shares other ideas as well.
I pray that you have a wonderful holiday tomorrow and that you are able to take time to reflect on the blessings in your life that you are thankful for.
Once again, Happy Thanksgiving!
