Hey, November

This month, we are all about finding our JOY through practicing a mindset of gratitude!

I can’t think of a better way to ease our way into the holiday season than framing our mindset with gratitude. Here in the studio, we’ll name one thing per day that we’re thankful for.

Here are some creative ways to pause and practice gratitude this month with your spouse, family, or friends.

1. Make a thankful tree

   1. Go for a nature walk

   2. Collect sticks

   3. Arrange them in a vase and display in your home

   4. Leave blank pieces of paper, string, a hole punch, and a pen next to the display

   5. When you walk by, house members can write down one thing they’re thankful for and hang it on the tree

2. Start a gratitude Journal

   1. Leave a blank notebook open on the counter with a pen. Encourage everyone in your home to write down something good to celebrate or be thankful for when they walk by and read it at dinner each night.

3. Write thank you notes- simply write 1 note or txt message each week of the month to someone, naming what you are thankful for about them.

4. Plan a Friendsgiving to show your gratitude for the relationships in your life.

5. Plan a mini personal gratitude retreat by setting aside time to Create your Live Well Plan to practice gratitude for the life and season you have been given. In thankfulness for being alive, create a plan to live it well by living with deeper intention. Experience the ripple effect of taking care of yourself so that you can show up to love and serve those around you well!

What about you? What creative ways can you practice gratitude this month?

With joy,
