Facing legal transitions and challenges during the holiday season can affect your ability to truly get into the spirit. As Thanksgiving quickly approaches, and we’re all encouraged to count our blessings, this can be especially difficult.
While we all recognize that we have much to be thankful for, it’s easy to get hung up on the negative aspects of our lives. Here are some tips and tricks that are designed to help pull you out of a funk when you need it the most:
- Share Your Gratitude With Someone
Sometimes the best way to get into the Thanksgiving mood is to talk about it with someone. When you share what you’re grateful for with someone else, you might prompt them to do the same, which could lead to a rewarding conversation.
- Write Down Your Blessings
Challenge yourself to come up with at least three things or people that you’re thankful for, and write down why you appreciate them. It might help to keep the list visible in your home as a reminder.
- Express Your Appreciation for a Friend
If you wrote down the name of a friend or family member on your list of appreciation – tell them! They will likely be thrilled to hear it, and it could inspire them to do the same.
- Be Mindful of Others’ Struggles
Sometimes, we’re so caught up in our own problems that we forget to recognize that many others are going through challenges as well. A kind word to your barista or a phone call to a friend who is going through a tough time might be all it takes to brighten someone else’s day, which in turn could improve yours.
This, of course, is just a short list to help you start shaking off the negative vibes. You can use these tips to brainstorm and get creative. Coming up with more ways to appreciate what you have could end up inducing a magical start to the holiday season.
