Somehow the holidays snuck up on us again. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, you may have spent some time thinking about who or what to be grateful for. Gratitude is never wasted. But when sending thank you notes or preparing your Thanksgiving menu, have you neglected the one person who needs your appreciation most?
You.
As you get slammed with all the gatherings and expectations that come with the holidays, don’t neglect yourself. Don’t get lost in the gifts and the things to do. Don’t get swept up in the idealism of the holidays, the need to look or appear perfect, and to please other people.
You need yourself more than ever. Don’t neglect yourself the way others have neglected you. Practice gratitude for the gifts of resilience, strength and courage you’ve cultivated. Be thankful because it’s brought you here.
