TIPS TO BE GRATEFUL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Focus on What You Do Have, Rather Than On What You Don’t

It’s so easy to dwell on what you’re missing out on, like a planned vacation to the beach or seeing family in another state. Instead, focus on what you do have this holiday season. If you sat down and wrote out a list of what you have, you’d be amazed how quickly you’d fill the page. You’ll quickly see that you have a lot of things to be grateful for, and if you keep these at the forefront of your mind, your days will be much easier to get through, indeed.

Focus on What You Can Control

You can’t control what the governor will do or what others will do. The only thing you can control is yourself and how you will respond to challenges when they arise. This holiday season, you are 100% in control of your attitude. Will you approach it positively, anticipating better days ahead, or will you be Scrooge, who expects the worst is always right around the corner?

Focus on Others

The holidays are all about stepping outside of yourself and putting others and their needs first. Look for opportunities to help others in their need. Not only will you be helping others, but you’ll feel better about life as well. Start with your family. Is there any relative who is particularly struggling this holiday season? What about a neighbor who might need your help? Do you know someone who needs help with food or paying their electric bill? Partner with your local church or a local charity organization to help strangers in need.

Pay it Forward

If you live in the United States, you are blessed, even if you are below the poverty line. We have running water, electricity, and indoor plumbing. We have indoor heat and food available, as well as government assistance to help us when we are in need of the basics. Thus, when you pay it forward, meaning you pass on small acts of kindness, you will be amazed at the response you’ll see in others.
