November marks National Gratitude Month. But it can be difficult to be thankful during tough times or when you’re facing mental health issues. It helps to take a moment to reflect on your mental wellbeing. Though the journey toward emotional health often includes facing challenges, finding gratitude in those moments can be transformative.

Reflect on that journey and perhaps you will find you are grateful for such things as:

• The peace found even in life’s struggles
• The resilience we build through hard times
• The quiet moments of self-care and rest we’ve learned to value
• Our imperfect but beautiful journey toward emotional health

And remember, there’s no “right” way to navigate this season of gratitude and the beginning of the holidays — do what feels best for your mind and heart.
