Gratitude: Beyond the Feast, Beyond the Journal

The Joyful Flamingo

As Canadian Thanksgiving approaches this weekend, Emily chats about extending your gratitude beyond the holiday! What impact does expressing your gratitude have on your overall wellbeing? This episode gives some suggestions on how to make your gratitude practise more of a 'way of life', rather than another task to check off once you've pulled out a journal and a pen each day. It ends with a #GratitudeForJoy challenge that will guide and amplify your thankfulness over the next 30 days! Be sure to keep your eye out for this challenge on The Joyful Flamingo's social platforms!
