Its Okay to Not Be Okay...Embracing Gratitude When Things Are Hard

Published: Nov. 24, 2020, 5:02 p.m.

Things are hard right now for me, just about everyone I know, and the vast majority of us.\xa0 Although Thanksgiving is this week here in the US and we\u2019re entering the holiday season, it\u2019s challenging for many of us to get into a festive mood with the coronavirus spiking, and all of the ramifications that entails.\xa0 On this episode, I talk about the importance of embracing where we are, giving ourselves permission to not be okay right now, and having compassion for ourselves and others during this difficult time.\xa0 I also talk about how and why embracing gratitude authentically right now is so important, although not that easy.
