7 Tips For A More Meaningful, Heartfelt Thanksgiving
This THANKSgiving there are so many ways to give thanks with your loved ones. Let those people in your life know how grateful you are for them and why. Gratitude expands our capacity to love, live and prosper so take this opportunity to be thankful.
Here are some suggestions for giving Thanks, this Thanksgiving:
1. Before your meal, go around the table and ask everyone to share one thing they are grateful for this year. This will uplift everyone and the food will taste better too.
2. Take everyone on a Gratitude Walk. Suggest that they contemplate as they are walking all the things they are grateful for in their life. Then, when you return home, you can share your gratitudes and experience.
3. Take a bunch of Thank You note cards and ask each person to write a heartfelt "Thank You" to one person that has made a difference in their life. Provide stamps so they can mail it out. Who knows, you may be the one receiving it!
4. Write a letter of gratitude to yourself. After all, you deserve acknowledgement also and the more you appreciate yourself, the more you will allow yourself to receive from the universe.
5. Give everyone at your table a Gratitude Journal. Have everyone write their name at the top of the first blank page. Pass it around and have each person at the table write what they love appreciate about the person whose Journal they have. When the Gratitude Journal makes its way back to the owner, it will be full of love and gratitude for the person it belongs to. This is a great way to start a Gratitude Journal.
6. Play Musical Gratitude. This works well with large groups. Have everyone walk (or dance) around to the music. Every time the music stops, whomever you happen to be next to, you share what you are grateful for about them. When the music continues everyone moves about the room until the music stops again. You are now with a new partner whom you share your gratitudes with.
7. Read a quote about Gratitude before or after your meal or type them up and give them out to your guests. Here are some of my favorites:
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and
more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos
to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn
a meal into a feast, a house into a home,
a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes
sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow."
~ Melody Beattie
"Being Thankful is the law of increase. Complaining is the law of decrease."
~ J. Martin Kohe
"To speak Gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact Gratitude is generous and noble, but to live Gratitude is to touch Heaven."
~ Johannes Gaertner
"Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings." ~ William Arthur Ward
"He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." ~ Epictetus
"Whatever our individual troubles and challenges may be, it's important to pause every now and then to appreciate all that we have, on every level. We need to literally "count our blessings," give thanks for them, allow ourselves to enjoy them, and relish the experience of prosperity we already have." ~ Shakti Gawain
"Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot." ~The Hausa of Nigeria
"There is a law of gratitude, and it is . . . the natural principle that action and reaction are always equal and in opposite directions. The grateful outreaching of your mind in thankful praise to supreme intelligence is a liberation or expenditure of force. It cannot fail to reach that to which it is addressed, and the reaction is an instantaneous movement toward you." ~Wally Wattles
