Thanksgiving Day in the US serves as a gentle reminder for everyone around the world to pause and consciously appreciate all the goodness in our lives.
But why limit practicing gratitude to just one day? Cultivating a habit of appreciation can significantly improve your mental health.
If you're struggling to find things to be grateful for right now, you're not alone.
Life can be tough—relationship breakups, unemployment, poverty, illness, bereavement... It's easy to become cynical in such situations. I get it.
A time of year so devoted to being grateful for what we have can also painfully highlight what we lack or have lost.
But here's an invitation: be open to gratitude.
Expressing appreciation for even the simplest things that go right in your life can help shift your perception to a higher vibrational level.
And why not use the Tarot to help you along?
You can approach practicing gratitude with the Tarot in two ways:
1. Go through the whole deck and choose one thing for each card you are grateful for.
2. Or just pick a few cards at random to explore what you can be grateful for at this moment in time.
Examples:
Three of Pentacles – grateful for all the experience gained from working with fantastic people
King of Swords – grateful for having stopped all the emotional drama in my life once and for all
The Moon – grateful for the magic, mystery and imagination in my life
Two of Wands – grateful for new opportunities I’m excited about
Remember to make a note of them all in your journal (check out the Tarot Moon Journal).
Why not giving this gratitude tarot exploration a try and raise your vibes today.
Pick as many cards as you like, and perhaps you will even enjoy drawing a daily card to express your gratitude for something (or someone!) good in your life right now.
Special journaling prompt:
What can I be grateful for in my life that money can’t buy?
Discover your hidden blessings with the Tarot!
Warmet wishes,
