MINDSET:

This week lands in one of the most emotionally charged seasons of the entire year. Thanksgiving, family dynamics, travel, disrupted routines, heavier meals, and heightened expectations all collide at once. It is a week where energy gets loud, schedules get messy, and the nervous system gets pulled in every direction. That’s exactly why we focus on gratitude and grounding this week.

Gratitude is stabilizing.
It breaks the cycle of stress, comparison, and overwhelm by shifting your focus back to what is steady, supportive, and meaningful. During a week where old patterns get triggered and emotions can run high, gratitude pulls you out of reaction mode and back into presence.

Grounding is regulating.
Holiday weeks come with more sitting, more food, more noise, and more stimulation. Grounding practices—like deep breathing, mindful movement, slow walks, and intentional pauses—help you stay anchored in your body instead of getting swept up in the chaos.

Together, gratitude + grounding give you the emotional foundation you need to move through this holiday with strength, clarity, and calm. This challenge is designed to help you stay centered, connected, and intentional—no matter what the week brings.
