A Month Of Thanks

Tomorrow marks the first day of November! Can you believe how fast 2013 has been moving? While many of us think of November as the month of the Thanksgiving holiday, many people choose to celebrate thanks and gratitude all month long which is what I'd like to do this year. November is gratitude month, and I'd like to share a few ideas with you about how you can turn this fall season month into one of great thanks, joy, and healing!

The Power Of Gratitude

The more we express gratitude for the small and big things in life, the more of them we get. Taking time to say thank you to others and to be in awe and gratitude at life itself heals and opens our hearts and keeps us in a positive state of mind. Our hearts are light and our smiles are big as we walk though life noticing all of the amazing things that happen at every moment.

Gratitude has the ability to flush us of negativity, remove blockages, uplift our spirits, and bring us great luck. The more we cultivate it, the more we'll end up having to be grateful for each day!

How To Celebrate Gratitude Month

There are endless possibilities for how you can make this a month of healing and joy, but here are a few of my personal favorites...

• Take time at the end of each day as you fall asleep to recall your whole day and express gratitude for the big and small things that happened.
• Make sure to say 'thank you' to the people in your life who deserve to hear it.
• Work on a list all month long on your smart phone or on a piece of paper for things that you're grateful for. See how many entries you can get before the end of the month!
• Use social media like Facebook and Twitter to share something you're grateful for each day. You can even get really creative and snap a photo each day that reflects what you're most thankful for.
• Write thank you notes to people who you may have been overlooking for a while.
• Every time you look in a mirror take a moment to thank yourself and express gratitude for the amazing person you are!

Pretty simple, right?

November can become a month of deep healing and great empowerment if we infuse it with the energy and intention of gratitude. I hope you'll join me in making this a magical month to remember!
