Happy Thanksgiving from Relentless Courage

Gratitude

Have you ever had something weigh on your mind and no matter what you do you can't seem to make it go away?  Sometimes you wish it would turn out differently or you had more control of the situation.  Maybe it seems like it's just not fair.  So much so that you fail to see the blessings and the potential good in it all.

If not, great!  If you have, then you know, it can be very frustrating.  That's where gratitude can be helpful.  

Gratitude can:

• drown out and replace negative emotions
• ground you in the present moment
• help shift your mindset to the blessings in the situation
• offer physical benefits like lower blood pressure, improved sleep and strengthen your immune system
• provide emotional benefits like more resilience, lower anxiety and depression and greater life satisfaction.
• foster stronger connections with others

Simple ways to be grateful:

• say "thank you"
• take a walk and appreciate nature
• write a letter of gratitude to someone
• write in a gratitude journal

You know that situation we talked about at the beginning?  What if, instead of getting caught up in all that you can't control, you were to look at the potential benefits and practice gratitude.

​Happy Thanksgiving!
