Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Episode 40: Gratitude in the Midst of the Holiday Hustle.
Here's the deal, for some of us, the holidays can bring stress.
So how do we stay mindful, focus on family and friends, and not lose our minds? How do we not let the hustle and bustle overwhelm us?
As a cognitive coach, I will say (over and over again) that our experiences comes back to our mindset. We get to chose our thoughts - and we get to chose how we will respond to this holiday stress.
One powerful way to make sure you truly experience the warmth and reason for the season is to slow down and remember to acknowledge all the things and people in your life that make you feel grateful.
The holidays are a time to focus on the most important aspects of life. We take time out to be with family, share gifts, and give to those less fortunate. Whether intentional or not, feelings of gratitude are often woven throughout these annual traditions, and can impact our physical and mental health in a positive way.
Here are 5 ways to practice gratitude during the hustle:
1. Be Mindful
2. Pitch In
3. Volunteer (Pay It Forward)
4. Compliment Others
5. Count Your Blessings
“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was ‘thank you,’ that would suffice.” - Meister Eckhart
