20 Gratitude Affirmations for Thanksgiving

During this time of year, I personally love taking the opportunity to focus on gratitude and the things in my life for which I am most grateful. 

Beyond an excuse for a fun holiday, gratitude is a powerful tool for improving our mood and mindset which in turn helps our overall quality of life. Many real-world studies have been done on the benefits of gratitude and in those, it has been linked to improving relationships, increasing happiness, and counteracting anxiety and depression.


“I don’t have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness – it’s right in front of me if I’m paying attention and practicing gratitude.” 

Brene Brown
