It seems like lately, there’s been a lot of focus on what’s wrong in the world. From the global pandemic to political unrest, it’s easy to get caught up in all of the negativity. But today, I want to take a moment to talk about gratitude.

This week is a time when we traditionally reflect on all that we are grateful for in our lives. But what if we took this tradition one step further and practiced gratitude every day? I can attest from personal experience that doing so can be a major game-changer. 

For me, gratitude is a practice that I incorporate into my daily life, not just during the Thanksgiving holiday. Keeping a gratitude journal is one of the best ways to shift your focus from what’s lacking in your life to all of the abundance that surrounds you. When you take the time to write down what you’re thankful for, it’s impossible to stay in a state of victimhood or feeling like life is happening TO you. Instead, gratitude creates a sense of empowerment and personal responsibility because you realize just how much control you have over your own happiness.

Gratitude is more than just a feeling of thankfulness. It’s a powerful emotion that can have a profound impact on our lives. When we’re grateful, we’re happier and more resilient in the face of adversity. We’re also more likely to help others and make positive changes in our lives. So this Thanksgiving, let’s all take a moment to appreciate all the good things in our lives – no matter how big or small they may be.

And as you reflect on all that you are grateful for, take a moment to consider how you can incorporate gratitude into your daily life. Doing so will undoubtedly improve your overall well-being and create more happiness in your life.

So, what am I grateful for?

I’m grateful for my family. I’m grateful for my kids, who are healthy and happy. I’m grateful for my husband, who is my best friend and biggest supporter. I’m grateful for my parents, who have always been there for me. They are the most selfless people I know and they have always put others before themselves.

I’m grateful for our cozy living space. I’m grateful for the roof over our heads and the food on our table. I’m grateful for the love and laughter that fills our home.

I am grateful for my friends, “my tribe”, with whom I align and get to share the journey. Each of them is a different person, with unique qualities and flaws. And we value each other’s insight and strengths, as well as challenge each other to grow and learn.

I’m grateful for my newly found purpose. I’m grateful for the job that I love and the opportunities it has given me. I’m grateful for my drive and determination, which have helped me achieve so much. And I continue to strive for growth and improvement every day.

I’m grateful for all of the teachers in my life—whether they know it or not. Those who have hurt me and those who have helped me, have made me the person I am today.

I’m grateful for my health and for everything my body can do for me. I’m grateful for my mind and all the knowledge it has acquired over the years.

I’m grateful for my clients, who trust me to help them on their journey and create a life they love. They are such an inspiration to me and I feel blessed to be a part of their story.

I am grateful for each and every one of You, my readers and followers, and I really appreciate your support!  I’d also like to thank You for any questions and/or suggestions, which I take very seriously.

Above all, I am grateful for life itself and every new day that it brings with it. Each day is a chance to learn, grow, and be grateful for all the blessings in my life.

Thank You, Universe, for all that You have given me. I am truly grateful!

Thank You Everyone for being a part of my life and making it so special. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

In spite of all that’s going on in the world, there’s still so much to be grateful for. When we take the time to focus on what’s good in our lives, we can find strength and hope even in the darkest of times. 

So today, let’s choose gratitude. Let’s choose to focus on what’s right instead of what’s wrong. Because when we do, we open ourselves up to even more blessings.

Wishing You and Your families all the happiness this Thanksgiving holiday can bring! Let us be grateful for everything we have been blessed with!

Love,

Yelena❤️
