30-Day Gratitude Challenge

In the US we celebrate Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of the month. This year it's the 28th. We get together with family and friends, eat until we're ready to burst, and nap along to football.

Some families have a tradition to go around the table and share what they're thankful for - health, a promotion, friends, family.

Or maybe you're like my family and you're happy to get through a meal without an argument.

What if we didn't need a day to remind us to be thankful? What if we could incorporate gratitude into our daily practice?

Let's Make a Daily Gratitude Pledge for November

Here's some inspiration to achieve a daily gratitude practice:

1) Say thank you to a co-worker, stranger, friend and/or family
2) Send a note of appreciation to a colleague at work
3) Share an experience with someone that showed up for you
4) Express what you see in other people that you admire
5) Make cookies and write a special note for a friend
6) Call a friend and sing the "Golden Girls" theme song
7) Keep a daily gratitude log without repeating for 30 days
8) Accept help that is offered and thank them
9) Look for the little wins
10) Seek the lessons even when things don't go your way
