Have an Attitude of Gratitude This Thanksgiving

Our Holiday of Thanksgiving is soon to be here.   The busy part of the Holiday is joyous with the food, family and friends.  For those of us who are on a diet and desire to stay on plan, we may have to make adjustments to the typical traditions of Thanksgiving.

Being mentally prepared for "Turkey Day" is so important. Let's face it, it is a big "eating" Holiday.  You may want to decide if you want go off your diet for one day or stick to it .  If you do go off plan, get right back at it the very next day.  If you make a commitment to stay on course, be strong, stay on plan, and be mentally prepared ahead of time to do this.

Whether or not we go off our diets, or stay the course this Thanksgiving Day, I suggest we take some time to reflect upon, what I call an Atttitude of Gratitude.  Thanksgiving is a time of remembrance for what we are thankful.  An Attitude of Gratitude means focusing on what we do have, not on what we don't have. Take the time, on this Holiday, to think about all the things for which you are most grateful .  Remind yourself about what is truly good and makes you happy in your life.

As our Thanksgiving Holiday arrives reflect on the love, joy, kindness, goodness in your heart and all the positive reasons be thankful.  Let your Attitude of Gratitude shine through in all you do!

Happy Thanksgiving to all,

Lynn
