Gratitude Fatigue?

It is Thanksgiving in the US!


Have you been inundated with social media #gratitude posts out the yin yang and your eyes rolling back in your head?


Oops - just me?


I've had some resistance to the gratitude movement.


Not because I don't feel grateful. I am.


BUT I worry that the toxic positivity can steamroll over very real feelings that need to be processed.


I had a conversation about this with friends about a 30-days of gratitude challenge.


And I started to get the sense that maybe I was starting to get a little jaded.


That the polarity of good and bad can exist simultaneously.


BUT taking a moment to actually be more mindful could be what's holding me back from everything I want.


I started to notice that I'm always going so fast, I don't look up enough. I'm just looking on the ground to make sure I don't trip.


But that the noticing gives me a roadmap of where to go next.


So I'm going to look up a little more.


Taking a moment today to really reflect. And be grateful for you. And me. And everything in between.


Because it matters. And I am so very thankful.


I thought today would be a perfect time to revisit my conversation with Chris Schembra (yep, same guy who was my guest on the BDSM episode) with a very new approach to gratitude.


This particular episode caught me off guard. I am not a cryer, but I broke down at the end and have never been the same since. It is powerful!
