Ways to be Thankful This Holiday Season
Posted 5 years ago

We hope that during this holiday season you have lots of things to be thankful for! It's especially nice to have one specific holiday each year to gather with the friends and family we love and recognize everything we have to be happy for, and for many it's the happiest times of the year!


But Thanksgiving isn't the only time you can express this kind of gratitude. Being thankful all year round is one of the best things you can do for your happiness. In our modern culture, filled with ads for the latest clothes or electronics, Instagram models and YouTubers and perfect Facebook pages projecting stories, it's easy to feel like we're missing out on something - like our lives should be better, or that we should have more.

Focusing on what you don't have won't make youhappy. Focusing on what you want can and should drive your goals, but it's absolutely a trap to tell yourself that you'll be happy when you get (insert thing here). What happens after you get it? Do you remember the last time you really wanted something really badly? What did you feel like when you got it? Happy for sure, but the happiness derived from obtaining material wealth doesn't last long. When the novelty wears off, there's always the next thing to want.

And because there's always something more to be wanted, your happiness becomes about chasing milestones rather than being present and attentive. We're not saying that you shouldn't ever want to improve your circumstances or never buy yourself something nice. What we're saying is that you can't let what you don't have stop you from appreciating what you do have. That's gratitude. You could always have less. Life always can, and sometimes will, take things away from you - precious, irreplaceable things. When we spend too much time focusing on the negatives, we find that when these things are lost, we never truly appreciated them, and that's the biggest feeling of regret there is.

Being happy with what you have is a platform upon which you can build more. There's something there, as opposed to focusing on something that isn't there. It's a focus on a form of nothingness, and it's much harder to build something from nothing than it is to build off of what you already have.

Bottom line is - if you're reading this, you have internet access and most likely you have a protected place to sleep tonight. That already puts you better off than over a billion people around the world who aren't even thinking about manifestations of material wealth like a shiny watch or a new car. Don't underestimate the basics.

Once your survival is accounted for - family, friends, things worth working hard on - that's what matters. Count your blessings. Wake up each morning grateful, spread the love and happiness, look for ways to add value to the lives of others and ignore the constant bombardment of "you should want more" that we're faced with daily.
