Thanksgiving 2022: Let's learn the art to be grateful this year
Thanksgiving brings a lot of reasons to be grateful from basic necessities to luxuries
Thanksgiving is here, reminding as of a powerful mental tool - gratitude. Once you have access to it and learn to use it wisely, you’ll never run out of peace.
What better time than Thanksgiving is to reminisce about the art of being grateful than Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving brings a lot of reasons to be grateful. From basic necessities to luxuries, there is so much that deserves to be thankful for, yet, this year, focus on little things that you might forget in hustle and bustle of your life.
Following are the 5 things you should be grateful for this Thanksgiving:
Carbs!
Carbs are often shamed for playing a part in weight gain, but imagine a world without stuffed bread or mashed potatoes. Totally clueless and colourless! Hence, if you can’t decide which dish to dig into first this year, be grateful for being able to consume anything you want. Not all have that privilege.
A sense of humour
If you can’t stop scrolling your social media feeds to find good memes, then, be grateful for having a sense that people rarely possess, a sense of humour! After all, what is the point of a life with no element of laughter in it?
Friendships that keep you alive!
Friends are your chosen family. You don’t get to pick your blood relatives, but you get to pick people you can make a family of your own with and this is the time you should be thankful that they exist. If you have friends who bring out the best in you, you happen to be the richest person on the planet. Shower your friends with love this Thanksgiving!
Growth
Evolution is the reason behind nurturing of humankind. Hence, if you have ‘changed’ over the years, congratulations! You have evolved. If over the years, you have become kinder, wiser, stronger and happier, you have experienced growth and you should be thankful for it!
Holiday gifts!
No one on this planet despises gifts. Everyone loves to receive something on special occasions and it is that time of the year when everyone is giving and receiving something. Hence, if you have someone to get you gifts, be thankful.
Practising gratitude at this time of the year will remind you of how to overcome your depression, because being thankful lowers your blood pressure, gives you the energy to laugh more on memes, and even increase your life span.
This Thanksgiving, be thankful for gratitude!
