Thanksgiving and other end of year holidays are a time to gather with loved ones, reflect on our blessings, and express gratitude. But amidst the gifts, feasts, and heartfelt thanks to others in our lives, how often do we pause to thank ourselves? How often do we acknowledge ourselves?
Life moves fast. We often float through our days focusing on our to-do lists and on what is missing without fully appreciating who we are, what we do, and the impact we have on the world. This Thanksgiving week, let’s change that.
Take a moment to look in the mirror and truly see yourself. Whisper words of gratitude for:
- Breathing every day and showing up, even when it’s hard.
- The lives you brighten with your unique presence.
- The strength and resilience you’ve shown on your journey.
- The endless possibilities that exist because you are here.
Self-gratitude isn’t selfish—it’s empowering. Psychologists link self acknowledgement with increased confidence, therefore making possible a more fulfilling life, By acknowledging and appreciating yourself, you nurture the strength and energy to keep reaching for your dreams and uplifting others.
This Thanksgiving, give yourself the gift of acknowledgment and love. You deserve it!
