Finding Gratitude in Difficult Times: Join Me This November

Let’s Acknowledge the Hard Stuff

These past months and years have challenged so many of us. Uncertainty, division, burnout, and loss weigh heavily on our shoulders. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, drained, and disconnected in a world that feels like it’s spinning faster than we can keep up.

But in the middle of difficulty, there is always something we can return to: gratitude.

Why Gratitude Now?

Gratitude isn’t about ignoring reality or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about pausing long enough to notice what is good, even in the midst of challenges. Research shows that practicing gratitude improves mental health, lowers stress, strengthens relationships, and builds resilience.

In difficult times, gratitude creates an anchor. It helps us shift from what’s missing to what’s present, from scarcity to abundance, from fear to hope.

And when we share gratitude publicly, we create ripples of positivity that inspire others to notice the good in their own lives.

 

Introducing the November Gratitude Challenge

That’s why I’m inviting you to join me this November for a 30-Day Gratitude Challenge. Together, we’ll take one intentional moment every day to name something we’re grateful for. It doesn’t need to be big — sometimes the smallest things make the biggest impact.

How it works:

• Sign up on our website for gentle reminders and a free template to help you create your posts.

• Each day in November, share something you’re grateful for on your favorite platform (or simply in a journal if you prefer).

• Use the hashtag #ElevateWithGratitudeChallenge so we can find and encourage one another.

  
  

Why Join?

By joining the challenge, you’re not just participating in a social activity — you’re choosing to create a space of positivity for yourself and for others. You’ll:

• Strengthen your ability to see the good, even on tough days.

• Build a habit that boosts your energy and outlook.

• Encourage and uplift others who may be struggling.

This is about creating a community of gratitude — a place where kindness, hope, and connection outweigh the negativity of the world around us.

We might not be able to change the world, but we can change ourselves to be positive, focus on hope, and find happiness by being grateful.
