Gratitude & Holiday Season

The holidays serve as a gentle reminder to be grateful for everything in our lives. Making thankfulness a practice can enhance your happiness and the happiness of people around you by strengthening your connections, discovering compassion in others, and forming new "happy mood" neural pathways in your brain. Furthermore, these thankfulness rituals can be carried out whenever, wherever, and any way you like. Here is some advice that you can use either by yourself or with your family.

Ritual 1: Amazing Grace

A terrific location to pause and reaffirm our thoughts of appreciation is at the dinner table. Start at one end of the table and invite everyone to share something they are grateful for in their lives before you break bread.

According to Anne K. Fishel, rituals "help develop a common family identity and sense of belonging," in her book Home for Dinner. According to Anne, by setting out this time for your family, you may strengthen your relationship as a unit and create a good atmosphere for the remainder of the dinner.

Ritual 2: Focus On The Positive

Every night before you go to bed, list three things for which you are grateful. You can start this habit by keeping a journal and a pen on your bedside as a reminder. Apps for appreciation on your phone, such as Feed Your Happy and Gratitude Journal, are another useful tool for those who are tech adept. According to research, keeping a thankfulness notebook can significantly improve your mood and, with regular use, even make it last for weeks or months. Gratitude helps you overcome the negativity bias by allowing positivity to flow into your brain like bees to honey.

Ritual 3: Write It Down

Write a letter to someone who has had a profoundly beneficial impact on your life to let them know how much they mean to you. Read the letter aloud when you meet this individual in person, if at all possible. Take note of how they respond, and cherish such moments for the future. This thankfulness exercise was taught to his students by Martin Seligman, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and a pioneer in the field of positive psychology. The assignment, which has become the most well-liked part of his positive psychology course, has shown itself to be a potent demonstration of humanity.

📰 Positive News Of The Day!

Researchers from the University of Austria have developed a sustainable alternative to recycle electronic devices made from biodegradable mushroom skin. They found that Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms grow a compact protective skin that can be perfect for a circuit substrate once dried. The material could be bent 2,000 times and folded over multiple times without losing its electrical resistance.

🧐 DID YOU KNOW?

Gratitude improves self-esteem. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology found that gratitude increased an athlete’s self-esteem, which is an essential component of optimal performance. Other studies have shown that gratitude reduces social comparisons. Rather than becoming resentful toward people who have more money or better jobs – which is a major factor in reduced self-esteem- grateful people are able to appreciate other people’s accomplishments.

Fun Ayurvedic Holiday Recipe

Chickpea Amaranth Spice Cookies

This recipe is gluten-free, protein and fiber-rich, and vegan-friendly. Amaranth is an anti-inflammatory seed that will help these cookies become digestible, even for dry Vatas who generally avoid beans. The spices will stimulate our circulation so that our hearts and hands will all remain warm during the cold season.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup dry amaranth (whole)

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup ghee*, melted

1/3 cup cane (turbinado) sugar

1 tsp cardamom

1 tsp cinnamon

1 ½ tsp ginger powder

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Pinch of salt

1 ½ cups chickpea flour

*For vegan cookies, use coconut oil.

Directions:

1. Cook the amaranth in water by bringing it to a boil then simmering while covered for 20 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

3. In a bowl, mix the ghee, sugar, salt, and spices.

4. Add ½ cup of cooked amaranth (you may have some cooked amaranth leftover). Mix well (the texture is sticky).

5. Add the chickpea flour, mix well. If the dough is dry, slowly add up to 1/2 cup of water until the dough is stirable, but thick and sticky in texture.

6. With a metal spoon, dollop 1.5 tbsp blobs of the batter onto a cookie sheet.

7. Bake for 20 mins or until golden.

8. Let cool on cookie rack.

9. Taste a few before setting them out for Santa.
