With Thanksgiving Day approaching in the U.S., we’re being inundated with reminders to be grateful. Fortunately, we have plenty of things to do in Saratoga, NY that uplift our spirits, thanks to all of the Saratoga fall events.
Yet, if we are feeling stressed or upset, setting aside time for the upcoming festive winter activities in our favorite historical hot spot may not be foremost on our minds. In fact, for some people, this season can heighten feelings of isolation, anxiety, or stress.
When gratitude feels forced, it can seem like an inauthentic and empty affirmation. Yet, acknowledging the good in our lives has real value and is not the same as promoting “toxic positivity.” In fact, evidence shows gratitude practices benefit both physical and mental health and overall well-being.
In my latest video blog, I explain what gratitude is, why it matters, its health benefits, and tips to foster this sought-after emotion. By igniting more appreciation for our lives, we can bring forth more of our own cheerfulness to the city’s year’s end events. This can improve our resilience and encourage us to be more genuinely present with our loved ones.
