A BE Mindset: Gratitude Practice #ProTips
~ Give Thanks ✨ Always ~
If not always, often.
💗 Gratitude is scientifically proven to increase health + quality of life.
Yet when stressed, traumatized, depressed or irritated, etc … it can be enormously hard to do.
🌱 If this is true for you, you’re in good company + not alone. Especially around the holidays.
Not all holidays are holiyays.
✨ Here are #ProTips that have helped me when I’ve been at my lowest. Trauma survivor -> to thriver right here 💗
Don’t “should” yourself
Do detox
Remember: gratitude is like broccoli
🌱 Is broccoli good for you?? Yes. But is it good for you all the time without other foods? NO
Remember to incorporate a myriad of Self Care healthy coping mechanisms + give Gratitude a break if it’s not working.
~ the rest?? ~
✨ BE Career Development is planning workshops exactly for this! But essentially …
🌱 If you feel you “should” be grateful for something, but it triggers you … please don’t feel pressured to include.
🌱 And if you are triggered by something while engaging in #gratitude …
~ vent it out! ~
✨ List 10 things that are triggering you. Try to end with more (in this case 11) you are thankful for.
Hope this helps to support + empower you.
💗 Lots of love and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours …
Cheers to being your best you! ✨
