Healthy Holiday Challenge
Week 3, November 22-28

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." - Eckhart Tolle
This Week's Theme:

The Art of
Gratitude & Savoring

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, this week focuses on gratitude and savoring. Research shows that an "attitude of gratitude" improves well-being by reducing stress and risk of heart disease, increasing sleep quality, enhancing social connection, and boosting overall satisfaction and motivation. Your challenge is to practice daily gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal -- simply writing down one thing you are thankful for at the end of each day. At the end of the week, take a moment to reflect on how this practice has changed your mood, hopefully increasing feelings of optimism and positivity!

Print your favorite design of the Healthy Holiday Challenge Pledge, fill it out, then post it in a visible place to remind you of your commitment. Use the Personal Success Tracker to check off each day that you have completed the weekly challenge. As you work on the challenge each week, write notes to yourself on what did/did not work.
