5 Fun (and Surprisingly Easy) Ways to Be Grateful This Thanksgiving Season

Thanksgiving is basically the Super Bowl of gratitude—but sometimes life is chaotic, and remembering to be thankful can feel like another item on the to-do list. No worries! Here are a few fun, low-effort ways to get into the spirit without forcing it.

1. Start a “Thankful-For-Right-Now” List
Not a journal, not a commitment—just a quick list on your phone of whatever you’re grateful for in this exact moment. Coffee counts. So does stretchy pants.

2. Turn Gratitude Into a Game
At dinner, go around the table and see who can name the weirdest thing they’re thankful for. (“I’m grateful for my car heater because my soul is fragile in the mornings.”)

3. Do a Mini Kindness Bomb
Leave a sticky note compliment in a random place—on a coworker’s desk, a mirror, a pumpkin… whatever. Making someone else smile instantly boosts your own gratitude.

4. Rewatch a Comfort Show
Nothing reminds you how good life can be like revisiting the series you’ve streamed 47 times. Gratitude via cozy vibes = valid.

5. Go Outside for Exactly 60 Seconds
You don’t have to hike a mountain. Just step outside, breathe in the cold air, and notice one small thing you appreciate—a crunchy leaf, a sunset, the fact that you’re not a turkey.

Gratitude doesn’t have to be deep or dramatic. Keep it simple, keep it playful, and let the season do the rest. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃✨
