Every Thanksgiving, it’s tradition that leads a circle of giving thanks as we feast on delicious food and ask each person what they are grateful for. And if you’re like me, well I get a little anxious wondering “What do I say?”

Not that Thanksgiving is the only time to count our blessings; in fact, I wake up every single morning and name 3 things I’m grateful for that day. It gives me a positive push to start the morning, and counting 3 things each day makes me feel good inside.

I know being mindful of my thoughts has really carried to an overall happier lifestyle, and keeping my habits good has been a huge factor of my positivity.

Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings. Bad energy attracts bad energy. It’s honestly that simple. I think positive and FEEL positive, so that’s usually what I attract.

Of course I’m human and complain here and there, but it’s all about creating that habit of trying not to do it too often. Just like your favorite thing to eat or the way you find balance, you can’t go too extreme in either direction because it can hurt you. Instead, it’s about finding the balance and creating good habits that make your quality of life so much better!

So, whether this is for Thanksgiving dinner this week or you just need a little inspiration (maybe starting your morning with 3 things you’re grateful for), here are
