Gratitude Challenge

Thanksgiving is just around the corner! If you’re like me, you’re probably juggling grocery lists, house cleaning, and finalizing plans for the big day. Maybe you’re even mentally preparing to spend time with those more challenging family members or friends—or already fast-forwarding to Christmas planning (why does Thanksgiving feel so late this year, anyway?).

And… breathe.

While the holiday hustle can feel overwhelming, Thanksgiving also presents a unique opportunity to pause, reflect, and express gratitude—even if it’s just for five minutes. Practicing thankfulness isn’t just a feel-good notion; it’s also scientifically proven to benefit your health.
