Thanksgiving often highlights the joy of togetherness, but for those facing family changes or loss, it can be bittersweet. If your holiday looks different this year, consider starting a new tradition, like sharing gratitude for moments big or small. Whether it's a text to a loved one or a personal reflection, expressing thanks can bring light to even the hardest days. Remember, it’s okay to create space for all your emotions this season. From all of us at Wellview Counseling, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. #Thanksgiving2024 #HolidayGratitude #NewTraditions #MentalHealthAwareness #WellviewCounseling

Thanksgiving is often a season for gratitude—but let’s not ignore the stress that can come with it. Balancing busy schedules, family obligations, and the pressure to show up in spaces that might not align with your peace can leave you feeling drained. Here’s a question: What if you didn’t feel obligated to attend gatherings that disrupt your well-being? What if Thanksgiving reflected your values, boundaries, and needs? Here are three ways to rethink Thanksgiving this year: 1️⃣ Protect Your Time: Just because you have the day off doesn’t mean you have to give it away. Be intentional about how you spend it. 2️⃣ Set Clear Boundaries: It’s okay to skip conversations—or entire gatherings—that disrupt your peace. No is a complete sentence. 3️⃣ Reimagine the Day: Host a Friendsgiving, volunteer, or simply enjoy some much-needed rest. Your time is yours to define. This season, let’s embrace the idea that choosing peace is a form of gratitude. You don’t have to endure stress or discomfort to honor tradition. 💡 How are you planning to protect your peace this Thanksgiving?

Sharing Thanks with Loved Ones 🧡🌟 This Thanksgiving, let’s make a point to share our appreciation with the people who enrich our lives. The holiday season is a perfect reminder to slow down, reflect, and make sure our loved ones know how much we value them. Here are some ways to share thanks with those who matter most: Family Tradition of Gratitude 👨👩👧👦: Start a new tradition at the dinner table where everyone takes turns sharing one thing they appreciate about the person sitting next to them. It’s a great way to foster connection and build each other up. Send a Video Message 🎥✨: Can’t be with someone in person? Send them a video message expressing your gratitude.
