Speaker 1: in hi she at Family we're entering the holiday season which means we have the fun of traveling planning shopping for gifts and spending time with family and friends all of these things as fun as they are and as much as we really want to do them can add to our family Dynamics and our already long to-do list one thing I like to do around this time instead of focusing on what might not be going right turn your focus to what is going right and the things in our lives that we have to feel grateful for our lives and moments might not be perfect by any stretch but being grateful for the things that we have in our lives down to the smallest detail helps us to start this season off right and helps us to remain focused on what brings joy into our lives and what is truly
Speaker 1: important if you are looking for a dose of added gratitude to get you through the next few weeks here are a few of my favorite things to do
Speaker 1:
- when you start to feel anxious about something think about one thing about that situation that you can feel grateful for there is always something when we started traveling with our twins I would stress before a long plane ride with two babies what really helped was focusing on the fact that I got to take a trip to see family and that I was able to spend time with them there were years while I was living in La where I only saw them once or twice a year so this helped to relieve stress and put the moments into perspective
- write a note or send a small gift to someone who has helped you throughout the year we think about these things often but it takes effort to really do them and make them happen I love to gift she built at tumblers as an inspiration or send an Amazon gift card by email as a thank you I recently sent an Amazon gift card by email to someone who had done something minor but meaningful to me that helped my business grow I received the nicest note about how the gesture made their day it doesn't have to a large amount sometimes it's the action and the heartfelt thank you that makes all the

Speaker 1: lives write down three things that you are grateful for every night that happened that day I know you've heard this before but it really works I've started to email myself three things I'm grateful for right before I fall asleep it's a simple gesture but it puts me in a good mood when I go to sleep and it reminds me of the things I'm grateful for first thing in the morning as I'm
