Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is November 23 and it’s that one day when we are asked: “What are you thankful for this year?” Since I was a young girl I’ve always wondered why we need 1 special day out of 365 to stop and reflect on what we are thankful for.

When I teach yoga, I usually end the class with the following request, “Take a moment to thank yourself for your yoga practice today and for taking care of your body and your mind”. Now a question for you: what if you started a weekly or even daily practice of thanking yourself, and those around you? I bet you have many things to be thankful for. What difference do you think it would make if you stopped and gave thanks to all that you have?

Sometimes I catch myself forgetting about all that is right and what I am happy for in my life, and I find myself focusing on the things that are not going as well as I think they should. Instead of complaining about all the things that are not going as well as we’d like how about instead we celebrate all that is right in the world! This is a festive time of year that may include holiday parties, concerts, decorating and shopping. Let’s treat it that way. Have you been invited to too many parties? Instead of dreading that next party, thank yourself for having friends and family who care about you and want to spend time with you. Have you been asked to bake yet another apple pie? Consider yourself lucky because someone thinks you are a great cook! Being thankful is a choice we are all able to make…everyday.

As Thanksgiving approaches consider paying more attention to the things that you are truly thankful for, and as Thanksgiving passes, continue to give thanks to yourself and to others.
