Living a Life of Gratitude
We’re walking into a time of year where many of us in America felt obligated to be “thankful” for areas of our life. Even though, when we’re honest, for many of us it may feel like a day of stress – those of you that feed groups of family and friends on Thanksgiving, props to you!
I absolutely don’t think we should fake it with a heart of gratitude. In fact, in case you’re new around here, I don’t think that we should “fake” anything.
But I do think that we honestly need to consider an attitude of gratitude to be the key to success.
When we stop expecting things, and start appreciating what we do have, our entire universe changes to be a lot brighter. And that makes life become a lot better.
It’s a huge mind shift, and I do not mean to be overly-simplifying it, but living a life of gratitude is something that I think we should all strive for more regularly.
For myself, I’ve been struggling with body image issues lately, which has, I’ve found, actually been linked to stress. I need to, instead, be thankful for the opportunities I’m receiving and thankful for the healthy body I have today. I need to be thankful for this chance to fall back in love with my body.
What can you show gratitude towards that you’ve been struggling with in your life?
When I was home in Chicago recently, I made a quick dinner for much of my family. While it was full of random recipes I know are sure to please any palate (I’m blessed to have a BIG family with a range of tastes), these turkey meatballs ended up being the star of the show.
Easy to make, and even my mother’s foodie boyfriend loved them! I consider that a winning recipe.
