Episode 5: Thanksliving - a podcast by Jes Live.

With Thanksgiving approaching I wanted to do a quick episode to encourage you to be thankful for the things that you have. And living in the moment with the ones you love so that's why it titled it Thanksliving.

From being alive, having a roof over your head to your family and friends that you get to spend this holiday with.

Start the morning off by making a list of 5-10 things that you are grateful for. Then spend the next 5 minutes sending out individual text to those you you may not be around for the holidays and tell them why you are grateful for them being in your life. It can be short and simple. An example could be, "Good morning mom, I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for always being there for me when I need you. Hope you have a great day. Love you." Tell the ones you are around on Thanksgiving why you are grateful for them. No group text message, sending individual text add a personal touch especially when you tell them what you are specifically grate for.

Be present in the moment, with the holidays it can be hectic but enjoy the chaos that's going on and on allow it to make you upset or irritated.

For those if you all you have loss a loved one an the holidays are a difficult time for you, I want to encourage to get out of the house and enjoys the family and friends around you and when you feel yourself getting down and sad change your setting, call someone and go do something that can take your mind off of it even if it's just for a little while.

If you have to work for the holidays or can't get to your family for whatever reason. Reach out to somone close to you,, go catch the local parade or volunteer passing out food. Or even make small gift bags for the homeless and passed them out on the corners. If doesn't have to be costly just by some sandwich meat, bread, brown paper bags and a case bottle water. Make the sandwiches, and put them in the bag and pass them out as you drive around. You can even buy some $1 gloves or cozy socks and at that to the bag.

Whatever you do just be thankful for what you have and those around you and spend the take in a grateful spirit.

Enjoy the time you have with the ones you love because tomorrow is not promised and be blessed ♥️♥️
