Thankful for Me: A Thanksgiving Self-Appreciation Ritual with Fleurissent
Thanksgiving is a yearly milestone that encourages us to reflect, foster gratitude, and express our thanks to those we love the most. But, as you gather with friends and family, don’t forget to practice self-love and self-appreciation, key pillars of mental health.
Let’s take this Thanksgiving as a reminder to express gratitude for our own strengths, resilience, and experiences. Read on for our exploration of self-appreciation, along with a few self-care rituals to brighten your holiday.
Understanding The Importance of Self-Appreciation
Today’s world greatly values empathy and kindness to others. It goes without saying that these are wonderful, essential qualities. But, while cherishing your relationships with others, it’s equally important to practice self-compassion and appreciation, as these practices foster whole-body well-being.
Self-appreciation is a practice and lifelong journey of celebrating your unique qualities, strengths, and personal growth. As a branch on the tree of gratitude, it promotes greater self-esteem by reminding you of your most admirable qualities. Self-appreciation isn’t about being perfect—it’s about self-reflection, positive self-talk, and finding joy in personal development.
Research reveals that self-esteem and self-appreciation have lasting benefits for mental and physical health, promoting healthier relationships and a lower prevalence of anxiety and depression.
Affirmations for Self-Appreciation
Affirmations are positive phrases that foster self-confidence and ward off negative self-talk. These motivating statements remind you of your strengths, providing validation and peace. Plus, research shows that self-affirmation positively impacts your brain’s reward systems.
Especially during the holidays, which are a time of reflection and gratitude, affirmations can help you feel like your best self. Here are a few to get you started:
- I am enough.
