A Thanksgiving Gif(t) - just for YOU

Tomorrow Thursday 28th November is American Thanksgiving Day celebrated by so many globally around the world. It is a timely reminder to all of us regardless of nationality to give thanks for our many blessing, and important to remember to "give thanks" to "express gratitude" and to "be kind".

For those of you who will be celebrating tomorrow and who are blessed to be sharing a thanksgiving meal around the table with friends and/or family (or indeed around any dinner table) I'd like to share with you another demension you can add to your gratitude practice or tradition.

Take a moment while everyone is sitting at the table to iniate and share something that you are grateful for about the person to your immediate left or right and that person does the same and so on and so on until it comes back to you. Some of it might be funny, some of it might be very deep but it gives everyone a change to share and extend a gratitude to the person on their left or the person on their right, it can go in either direction. Be the first to start the ripple effect.

Speaking our gratitude aloud has a very powerful effect and there is a big difference in

thinking gratitude and actually speaking gratitude. Research has shown that when you speak your gratitude it improves your blood pressure and improves your immune system. Pretty cool that you can obtain health benefits from speaking your gratitude eh!

Before the circle is complete around your table everyone is feeling a whole lot better and who knows whose life you might shape or change with your expression of gratitude. So, crank the volume up on your power and speak your gratitude, not just for tomorrow but for the way you live your lives.

Oh! Almost forgot my virtual gift to you... and by way of thanks to all my WA friends I have attached a link below that you might enjoy and which will enhance your email/website signature.
