Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. We recently celebrated Thanksgiving in the United States

with time to feel grateful and thankful for all that we have, for all that we're experiencing,

for our loved ones. But I want to ask you, did you spend some time thinking about how grateful

you are for yourself? That leads to the question, who are you really?

And do you believe you're good enough? Are you grateful for all of those fun quirks and interesting

personality traits and behaviors that you've exhibited throughout your life? If you're like most of us,

humans, which I think you are, you've had people throughout your life. If you're like most of us humans, which I think

you are, you've had people in your life who have pointed out your shortcomings, pointed out your

flaws and told you to do better. Some people are more critical than others, but I found that we

tend to be most critical with ourselves. I want to give you a challenge today to stop for a

moment and take a deep, deep breath and think about three or four or five things that have

traditionally bugged you about yourself and just accept them. Let go of those shoulds and say,

hey, self, I am so grateful for you. I think you're so cool. Even with the shape of your

body the way it is, even with those quirks, even with that thing you're doing that your parents

never liked or that your spouse doesn't prefer, even when you're crazy and loud and big, you are beautifully human. You are

beautifully, wonderfully human. I want you to feel grateful for everything that makes you you. Celebrate that

today and send yourself some of that gratitude that we celebrate during this Thanksgiving season. And I want to say

that to you as well, everyone listening, you are beautifully, amazingly, fantastically human and

wonderful with all of the traits you have, just as you are. Take all of those, bundle them up. Imagine your

life is a canvas of color and experience and light and celebrate it. You are wonderful. Thank you so

much for listening, and I will see you again soon. Take care. Thanks for listening to the Vibrant Happy Women podcast at www.
