Thought for the Day

Importance of Specific Gratitude

Don’t you just love Thanksgiving?! It is by far my favorite holiday! I think it’s because it’s simply an excuse to get together with your friends and family, eat delicious food, hang out and count your blessings! What a fabulous holiday!

Every Thanksgiving, like you, I always try to remember to focus on being grateful for the many blessings in my life. This is something I try to do everyday – but usually forget to do fully. The craziness of the day takes over. I know deep down I am thankful for the good things that happen everyday in my life, but I often don’t take the time to be specific about what I am thankful for.

And I think I am missing out by just being generally grateful and not specifically grateful.

Identifying specifically what you’re thankful for in your life is VERY powerful. Being specific helps your clarify those things and experiences you would like more of. It helps you begin to attract more of these types of experiences and help you grow and create the life you’ve always dreamed of creating.

Therefore, this Thanksgiving – let’s be specifically grateful!

Let’s take a little time and write down (in detail) all of the many things we love in our life and would like more of. If you take the time to do this, I think you will be amazed at what you discover – and how good it feels to really focus on the good in our lives – instead of the lack and stress that often creep into our subconscious. 🙂

ACTION STEPS

Write down a specific, detailed list of all the things you’re grateful for in your life. Describe why you love the people and experiences in your life. I promise this will be a fun and enlightening exercise. You’re guaranteed to feel good after this little exercise.

Happy Thanksgiving!
