Thanksgiving. Today’s name says what it’s all about. When you go around your dinner table tonight and give thanks for the people you are surrounded with and the blessings you’ve been given, or when you log on to google and see the turkey reminding you that today is Thanksgiving, reflect on how giving thanks makes you feel. Typically when we are thankful for something or someone, we feel happy and view the thing or person as positively affecting us. We are sending a message to our brains that something in our life is good, something is happy, something is worthy of us giving thanks. In other words, we are grateful! This grateful message can translate into a variety of effects on both our minds and our bodies: our muscles may relax, we may feel more calm, we may feel joyous, we may smile. Today, let’s not only give thanks, but let’s also reflect on the effects on both our mind and body when we recognize the things or people for which we are grateful.
