Gratitude…

Thanksgiving (and the holidays) can bring many stressors, as identified in recent posts. There is a demand on our time, increase in social and family gatherings, an abudance of food and financial stress. At times we got lost in these many demands and the hustle and bustle and lose sight of what we are celebrating.

At Thanksgiving, it is a particularly salient time to stop and recognize the many things we can be grateful for in our lives. These things can be big and small.

Take the time to write a gratitude list today. List whatever it is (people, things, feelings, events, pets, memories, etc) that you are especially thankful for. Place this list some place special for you and reflect on it in times of need. It can help put things in perspective when you are having a bad day or the eating disorder voices appear particularly loud.
