Thanksgiving is on its way—so what do you have to be thankful for? At Essential Massage Therapy in Sparta, NJ, we are grateful every day for our lives, the wonderful space, and the amazing clients who visit the office! Gratitude isn’t just saying “thank you,” it’s about noticing and appreciating all the good things you have. Gratitude can improve health, boost your self-confidence, and make you a happier person. Certainly, this is a part of your wellness! Keep reading for some gratitude tools you can incorporate into your wellness routine during this season of Thanks.
Gratitude Journaling
Journaling is an excellent wellness practice, as it helps to shift your mind in a positive direction. When you’re feeling stressed, or at the end of your day, take a moment or two to journal about what you feel grateful for. Try it regularly for a few weeks for maximum benefit—you’ll be surprised by just how grateful you feel! Some massage clients like to bring a journal to their massage session in Sparta so they can journal when they feel completely relaxed.
Gratitude Box
If you find yourself struggling to hold onto your gratitude, try a gratitude box! Purchase or decorate a box and leave small strips of paper to write what you are grateful for. Write something each time you walk by, whenever the mood hits you, or fill it with reasons why you are grateful for a specific person and give it to them as a gift! Taking time throughout your day to focus on gratitude can improve your mood.
Mindful Gratitude Walk
Ready for mindfulness to meet gratitude? Try a mindful gratitude walk! Choose a relaxing setting and walk at a comfortable pace, making sure to stay attentive to your surroundings. Notice the natural world and beauty all around you, and reflect on your gratitude. Are you grateful that you have a safe sidewalk? That the trees still have one or two leaves before the snow falls? Are you grateful that your walk is going to end at your favorite massage office in Sparta?
