And now here's your host dimple.

Speaker: 00:00:25

Dang.

Speaker: 00:00:35

Hello there.

Speaker: 00:00:36

My most amazing marketing crew today, I wanted to take time out to wish everyone

Speaker: 00:00:42

a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Speaker: 00:00:45

And I really was inspired to get on here and record a message for

Speaker: 00:00:49

you guys, because Thanksgiving is.

Speaker: 00:00:52

a Really important insignificant holiday.

Speaker: 00:00:55

And I want to talk about attitude of gratitude, because I think that it's

Speaker: 00:01:01

really important to have that attitude of gratitude, but sometimes it can be

Speaker: 00:01:06

really difficult when you think about.

Speaker: 00:01:09

All of the things that have gone on, ever since the pandemic started, it really has

Speaker: 00:01:15

been a challenging year for many people.

Speaker: 00:01:17

And a lot of people have lost their loved ones.

Speaker: 00:01:20

Through the pandemic or through cancer, through other things that have happened,

Speaker: 00:01:24

a lot of people have felt isolated.

Speaker: 00:01:27

A lot of people have been uncertain about their, job or their financial situation.

Speaker: 00:01:32

So a lot has gone on.

Speaker: 00:01:34

And I think, you know, with everything that's happened, I think that it's

Speaker: 00:01:39

important to take time today on Thanksgiving to really reflect

Speaker: 00:01:44

on that attitude of gratitude

Speaker: 00:01:46

And see what you can do to have your share of, you know, having that positive

Speaker: 00:01:51

attitude and showing that gratitude and spreading that across the universe.

Speaker: 00:01:56

Because I think it's about not just having that message, but sharing

Speaker: 00:02:01

that message with the world and with those that need it today.

Speaker: 00:02:05

when we talk about.

Speaker: 00:02:06

Gratitude, what it really is.

Speaker: 00:02:09

It's really a solution to like negative emotions and it also neutralizes

Speaker: 00:02:13

envy and hostility and, anger and worry and just, anything that

Speaker: 00:02:19

you might be feeling irritated by.

Speaker: 00:02:21

And it's also about not taking things for granted, and living in the present.

Speaker: 00:02:27

I think living in the present is so important.

Speaker: 00:02:29

And one of the reasons why people are really just, not in a good place

Speaker: 00:02:34

sometimes is because they live in the past or the past always comes up to haunt them,

Speaker: 00:02:40

whether it's there's certain things that have happened in the past that have taken

Speaker: 00:02:44

their confidence away, or maybe there's things that were just very difficult and

Speaker: 00:02:48

trying times that they've been through.

Speaker: 00:02:50

when you think about those things, Of course, they are a part of you and

Speaker: 00:02:54

they shape you to who you are today.

Speaker: 00:02:56

And they're part of your story.

Speaker: 00:02:58

And that's how you can use that in a positive ways.

Speaker: 00:03:01

That's part of your story, but if it's not part of your story, our fair, not

Speaker: 00:03:06

using it in a positive way and you really want to live in the present.

Speaker: 00:03:11

So when we talk about, attitude of gratitude,

Speaker: 00:03:14

I want to share five things about attitude of gratitude that you can do

Speaker: 00:03:18

that are going to help you to really feel that attitude of gratitude.

Speaker: 00:03:23

So number one is to appreciate the little things on a daily basis.

Speaker: 00:03:28

How many times do little things happen?

Speaker: 00:03:30

And we overlook them.

Speaker: 00:03:32

You guys, we overlook them because we're only looking for the big things.

Speaker: 00:03:36

And when you think about it, the big things do happen, but

Speaker: 00:03:39

they don't happen that often.

Speaker: 00:03:41

If you're only waiting for the big things to happen, to show that gratitude,

Speaker: 00:03:45

to show that appreciation Don't start looking at the little things.

Speaker: 00:03:50

Think about the time when you were in a hurry and you were driving

Speaker: 00:03:55

somewhere cause you were running late and you got every green light.

Speaker: 00:03:59

Did you think about showing gratitude for that and saying, oh, well, thank you.

Speaker: 00:04:03

Thank you.

Speaker: 00:04:04

You know, I'm blessed because I got every green light cause I

Speaker: 00:04:06

needed to be somewhere on time.

Speaker: 00:04:08

Or how about when you went to Starbucks and they gave you.

Speaker: 00:04:12

A bigger size coffee, just because, right.

Speaker: 00:04:16

And it's like the little things like that, or it's like someone is in line and

Speaker: 00:04:21

they say, oh, you can go in front of me.

Speaker: 00:04:24

Right.

Speaker: 00:04:24

It's it's all of those little things that happened.

Speaker: 00:04:27

On a daily basis.

Speaker: 00:04:29

It's that little thing of hearing from a friend you haven't heard from

Speaker: 00:04:33

in awhile and they reach out to you.

Speaker: 00:04:35

And I don't even mean by text message.

Speaker: 00:04:37

I mean, they actually pick up the phone and they call you, that's something

Speaker: 00:04:42

that you can, you know, be grateful for.

Speaker: 00:04:44

That's something that you can have that attitude of

Speaker: 00:04:48

gratefulness and showing gratitude.

Speaker: 00:04:51

All right.

Speaker: 00:04:51

Number two is that you want to surround yourself with positive and like-minded

Speaker: 00:04:56

people that is really, really important.

Speaker: 00:04:59

And this is something that I've learned in the past, year or so ever

Speaker: 00:05:03

since the pandemic, I realized that.

Speaker: 00:05:06

You know, some of the friends that I had were very negative and they were just

Speaker: 00:05:10

bringing me down and there were very pessimistic or every time they would

Speaker: 00:05:14

call you and they would talk to you.

Speaker: 00:05:16

It was just one negative thing after another.

Speaker: 00:05:18

And one negative story after another.

Speaker: 00:05:21

And after a while, it just begins to sound like a broken record.

Speaker: 00:05:26

And I think that if you're not conscious of who you're surround yourself with,

Speaker: 00:05:32

there's a possibility that other people are going to bring you down.

Speaker: 00:05:36

You really want to surround yourself with people that are positive, that

Speaker: 00:05:40

are like-minded and that lift you up and that don't bring you down.

Speaker: 00:05:44

I think as we're about to go into a new year and pretty much like a month or so,

Speaker: 00:05:50

I think it's also time to think about.

Speaker: 00:05:52

Things in your life that no longer serve you.

Speaker: 00:05:55

I think it's time to think about friendships that you have to let go,

Speaker: 00:05:58

because it was all take, take, take, take, take, and there was no give, right?

Speaker: 00:06:04

So I think that if you want to live a life and you want to be grateful, you

Speaker: 00:06:08

also want to be surrounded by people that.

Speaker: 00:06:11

Give you back and that also love you back.

Speaker: 00:06:13

Right?

Speaker: 00:06:14

So keep that in mind.

Speaker: 00:06:16

All right.

Speaker: 00:06:16

Number three.

Speaker: 00:06:17

And this is really important too, is don't isolate yourself.

Speaker: 00:06:21

It's really easy to become isolated during a pandemic.

Speaker: 00:06:25

It's really easy to get wrapped up on social audio apps and also

Speaker: 00:06:31

just, you know, in your own zone.

Speaker: 00:06:34

But I think it's important to take time off for yourself.

Speaker: 00:06:37

It's important to take time off for self care.

Speaker: 00:06:40

It's important to, get out of the house and go meet different

Speaker: 00:06:45

people and do different things.

Speaker: 00:06:47

And I think it's also important to reach out to other people because what

Speaker: 00:06:53

I really miss are the days when people used to pick up the phone and actually

Speaker: 00:06:58

call you and have a conversation.

Speaker: 00:07:00

now, everything is mostly via texts and, you know, I miss that human

Speaker: 00:07:05

interaction of where people would just call you and you can talk to them.

Speaker: 00:07:08

You can hear their voice, you can see the joy, if you're talking to them

Speaker: 00:07:13

via zoom, hearing their voice is very different than a text message.

Speaker: 00:07:18

So I also encourage you.

Speaker: 00:07:21

On Thanksgiving to call your family members and talk to them

Speaker: 00:07:26

and, ask them to do a zoom.

Speaker: 00:07:29

If you can't be together in the same, you know, then the same city, because

Speaker: 00:07:33

a lot of people are traveling, but a lot of people still are not traveling.

Speaker: 00:07:37

And a lot of people also have families that live in different countries.

Speaker: 00:07:41

And some of the countries, even, you know, in Europe are starting

Speaker: 00:07:43

to go on, lock down again.

Speaker: 00:07:45

So.

Speaker: 00:07:46

Just reach out to your loved ones and dedicate, to spending some time with them

Speaker: 00:07:51

on Thanksgiving, even if it's virtual.

Speaker: 00:07:54

Reach out to a best friend and plan, you know, a time to talk to them and

Speaker: 00:07:59

chat with them, even if you're going to be busy with your family, because

Speaker: 00:08:03

maybe they don't have a family.

Speaker: 00:08:06

Maybe they lost their family.

Speaker: 00:08:08

Maybe they're all alone.

Speaker: 00:08:09

Right.

Speaker: 00:08:09

So think about all those things.

Speaker: 00:08:11

And then the other thing I want to talk about, which I touched on a little bit

Speaker: 00:08:16

is that you want to live in the present.

Speaker: 00:08:19

Not the past or the future, you really want to live in the present

Speaker: 00:08:23

because the present is what's going to really be the one thing that

Speaker: 00:08:28

you can control is right there.

Speaker: 00:08:30

In that moment, you can not change the past and you can't predict the future,

Speaker: 00:08:35

but when you can do, as you can live intentionally in the present to make sure

Speaker: 00:08:41

that what you're doing in the present will make a big impact for your future.

Speaker: 00:08:45

So that's what you want to think about.

Speaker: 00:08:47

How can you have an impact, for the future?

Speaker: 00:08:50

How can you impact other people?

Speaker: 00:08:52

How can you change lives and focus on that.

Speaker: 00:08:55

All right.

Speaker: 00:08:56

Number four, it's about changing your mindset.

Speaker: 00:09:00

Mindset is one of the most important things, but if you don't

Speaker: 00:09:04

have control over your own mind, That can really be catastrophic.

Speaker: 00:09:08

So if you find that your mindset is not where it needs to be, our negative

Speaker: 00:09:14

thoughts are creeping up on you.

Speaker: 00:09:15

And especially during the holidays, like holidays are really

Speaker: 00:09:19

a tough time for some people.

Speaker: 00:09:21

And especially during a pandemic, I think it just exemplifies that

Speaker: 00:09:25

situation, but try to change your mindset and have that attitude of

Speaker: 00:09:30

gratitude and try to be positive.

Speaker: 00:09:33

Try to think about, everything that did go right.

Speaker: 00:09:36

You know, in the past 12 months, instead of everything that went wrong, right?

Speaker: 00:09:41

Because there will always be challenges in life.

Speaker: 00:09:43

There will always be things that go wrong, but you can't focus on that.

Speaker: 00:09:48

You have to change your mindset to have that mentality where.

Speaker: 00:09:53

The glass is half full, not half empty.

Speaker: 00:09:57

Right.

Speaker: 00:09:58

And when you think that way, it changes the way that you look at the world, it

Speaker: 00:10:03

changes the way that you see things, and it really can have a positive impact on

Speaker: 00:10:09

everything that you do every single day.

Speaker: 00:10:12

All right.

Speaker: 00:10:12

So the fifth thing I wanted to talk about.

Speaker: 00:10:15

Having that attitude of gratitude.

Speaker: 00:10:17

There's a ton of advantages to having that.

Speaker: 00:10:20

And I'm going to talk to you guys about a couple of the things that I think

Speaker: 00:10:23

are really important when it comes to that, is that you're going to find

Speaker: 00:10:28

that if you show more of an attitude of gratitude and you embrace that in your

Speaker: 00:10:32

everyday life and everything that you do, you're also going to be more confident.

Speaker: 00:10:37

You're going to have more self-esteem.

Speaker: 00:10:40

on top of that, you're going to feel blessed.

Speaker: 00:10:43

You're going to feel like even you talking to other people that you have

Speaker: 00:10:47

the ability to bless other people, you're going to feel more abundant.

Speaker: 00:10:52

You're going to feel happier and it's not a happiness.

Speaker: 00:10:55

That's a fake happiness from buying an expensive item that you wanted.

Speaker: 00:11:00

And then that happiness lasts for a day.

Speaker: 00:11:02

And then it's gone.

Speaker: 00:11:03

I know you've all experienced that high of like buying a new car, buying

Speaker: 00:11:07

a condo, you know, buying a new watch that you wanted, but how long

Speaker: 00:11:11

does that happiness really loud?

Speaker: 00:11:13

So when you think about happiness and it has to come from within, it

Speaker: 00:11:17

has to come from deep, deep, down, inside from internally, you need to

Speaker: 00:11:22

practice that you have to work at it.

Speaker: 00:11:24

It's not always just going to be there, but you have to be cognizant

Speaker: 00:11:28

and you have to make efforts every single day to become a happier person

Speaker: 00:11:33

to do the things that make you happy.

Speaker: 00:11:35

And also remember to make time to do the things that bring you joy.

Speaker: 00:11:40

You guys, sometimes it's as simple as taking a walk outside in the park and

Speaker: 00:11:45

watching like the swans, in the pond and, and just taking in that beauty,

Speaker: 00:11:51

it's about going to the botanical garden and looking at the flowers and looking

Speaker: 00:11:56

at the scenery and breathing in the fresh air and being thankful for that.

Speaker: 00:12:01

Some other advantages.

Speaker: 00:12:03

Of attitude or gratitude are that you're going to end up being more

Speaker: 00:12:08

active and actively doing things instead of reactive and reacting

Speaker: 00:12:13

to everything in your environment.

Speaker: 00:12:15

And that's really powerful because you don't want to always be reactive.

Speaker: 00:12:19

Being reactive can be a bad thing.

Speaker: 00:12:21

You want to be able to take in information and then evaluate

Speaker: 00:12:26

it and then you want to read it.

Speaker: 00:12:28

That's what it means to be active.

Speaker: 00:12:30

All right.

Speaker: 00:12:30

You guys, so the other things that I wanted to talk to you about today

Speaker: 00:12:35

is for happy Thanksgiving, if you're going to be wishing other people happy

Speaker: 00:12:41

Thanksgiving, I want to share some ways that you could wish your friends

Speaker: 00:12:45

and family, a happy Thanksgiving in a very beautiful and impactful way.

Speaker: 00:12:50

One message you can say is you can say happy Thanksgiving, even

Speaker: 00:12:54

though I know where part today, but

Speaker: 00:12:57

you're always in my heart and I love you.

Speaker: 00:12:59

And I miss you.

Speaker: 00:13:00

And I can't wait to see you in person.

Speaker: 00:13:03

That's one way that you could a message.

Speaker: 00:13:05

You can share.

Speaker: 00:13:06

Another message you can share is you can say happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker: 00:13:11

Let's not get so busy that we forget to spend time together,

Speaker: 00:13:14

even if it's on FaceTime or zoom.

Speaker: 00:13:17

Okay.

Speaker: 00:13:18

Another way is you can make a video for a friend or loved one

Speaker: 00:13:23

and you can, you can tell them.

Speaker: 00:13:25

These are the three things that I love about you.

Speaker: 00:13:29

And I'm so thankful that you are a part of my life and I'm so grateful for you.

Speaker: 00:13:34

I think that would be so impactful.

Speaker: 00:13:36

I think someone would really love that and it gives it that personal touch.

Speaker: 00:13:41

And that's what it's all about.

Speaker: 00:13:43

I hope you guys are going to reach out to your loved ones.

Speaker: 00:13:46

You're going to reach out to your friends.

Speaker: 00:13:48

You're going to show that.

Speaker: 00:13:50

Positive attitude of gratitude.

Speaker: 00:13:53

I want to know, I want to know how you're going to show your gratitude.

Speaker: 00:13:57

So send me a message connect with me on Instagram.

Speaker: 00:14:01

And I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving,

Speaker: 00:14:06

a very blessed Thanksgiving.

Speaker: 00:14:08

I hope that everyone has an amazing holiday and has safe travels.

Speaker: 00:14:13

If you're traveling.

Speaker: 00:14:15

And I just wanted you to take the time to think about, having that

Speaker: 00:14:18

attitude of gratitude, because Thanksgiving is also a perfect day

Speaker: 00:14:22

to sit down and reflect on, what your attitude is towards being thankful.

Speaker: 00:14:28

And, you know, are you thankful on a daily basis or are you only being thankful on

Speaker: 00:14:33

Thanksgiving because you got reminded.

Speaker: 00:14:35

That this is a holiday where we give thanks and we show thanks.

Speaker: 00:14:38

Right?

Speaker: 00:14:39

And I think if you're thankful every day, like if you can find three things

Speaker: 00:14:44

to be thankful for every single day and you consciously make an effort

Speaker: 00:14:49

to notice them, I guarantee that that's going to be a game changer.

Speaker: 00:14:54

In your life for how you feel, and it's going to help you feel happier,

Speaker: 00:14:58

more fulfilled, and it's going to give you that positive attitude

Speaker: 00:15:03

that you need to get through the difficult times when they do come.

Speaker: 00:15:07

So you guys, I just wanted to give you a personal, thank you as well.

Speaker: 00:15:11

For being my listeners and for being my loyal fans and followers I love

Speaker: 00:15:16
