Sensational Sunday Thanks
This post-Thanksgiving Sunday seems like a good time to
think about making Thanksgiving a regular habit. I don’t mean the big feast, with the dressing
and the turkey, but the “thanks” part.
Dancers know all about establishing habits, good and bad, and creating a
Thanksgiving habit falls into the good category.
It is a simple matter of remembering to appreciate what you
have, which prevents focusing on what you don’t have (bad habit category), and
being thankful. Gratitude. Dancers know all about focusing, too. And focusing on the positive is always better
than the alternative.
Studies have shown that gratitude has beneficial effects on
health, mood, sleep, and motivation, as well as many other areas (see today’s Link of the Day).
So make Thanksgiving (gratitude) a habit – every day of the
year.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #15p:
“Make Thanksgiving happen more than once a year – make it a daily habit.”

of the Day:
"Piglet noticed that even though he had a
Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude."
- A.A. Milne
