In honor of Thanksgiving, here are ten ways to spread abundance that will brighten your day \u2013 and someone else’s!<\/p>\n

1. Write a Thank You (for Being You) Note!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may be old fashioned in these days of e-mails, texts and Facebook wall posts<\/a><\/strong>, but sometimes the best things stem from tradition. Take this opportunity to let someone know that you appreciate them – not for something they\u2019ve given you or done, but for who they are and what they bring to your life.<\/p>\n

2. Shake Things Up at Turkey Time<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if you hate it, and it doesn\u2019t go with the rest of the meal at all, make your loved one\u2019s favorite dish part of your Thanksgiving<\/a><\/strong> weekend. Barbecue? Chinese dumplings? Whatever. The fact that it\u2019s not standard holiday fare makes it even more meaningful as an expression of love. The gesture won\u2019t go unnoticed.<\/p>\n

3. Donate Something<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s your time, a few bucks or your favorite holiday snack, give something to your local homeless shelter. You\u2019ll be surprised how good it feels.<\/p>\n

4. Offer to Babysit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have friends or family members who don\u2019t get out much. Offer to babysit so that they can have a second to themselves. It\u2019s a great big thank you for which they\u2019ll be extremely grateful!<\/p>\n

5. Mentor Someone<\/strong><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t have to be more than a coffee, but if you\u2019re in a position that someone else might like to learn about, give them a little insight into your experiences. This doesn\u2019t have to be professional, it can be life based (like Big Brothers and Big Sisters). Offering guidance to someone who needs it, is a great way to pass on some positive energy.<\/p>\n

6. Smile at Strangers<\/strong><\/p>\n

So what if a few people think you\u2019re strange? Most people love being smiled at \u2013 it\u2019s a reflection of happiness and who couldn\u2019t use a little more of that?<\/p>\n

7. Dedicate a Yoga or Meditation Session<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some people offer up prayers, and it\u2019s great if you do that, too. But the next time you\u2019re meditating or in a yoga class, focus on sending someone you care about (whether you know them or not) a little white light. Afterward, don\u2019t be surprised if they get in touch because they\u2019ve been thinking of you.<\/p>\n

8. Release All Ill Will<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no point holding grudges, and what better holiday is there for releasing yours in celebration of all that is great in your life? Let go of any bad feelings you have toward anyone. Whether that means you forgive them and forget them or you forgive them and reach out is up to you.<\/p>\n

9. Make Amends<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now is a great time to let bygones be just that. If you feel you owe someone an apology, give it now. Even if it\u2019s just in e-mail, the signals it sends (to the person and to the forces at work) open you up for progress.<\/p>\n

10. Set Aside a Little Time For Yourself<\/strong><\/p>\n

It may sound crazy as a way to spread good will and gratitude, but above all other things, if you appreciate yourself and the importance of maintaining a sense of balance (after all, it means you\u2019re keeping the universe<\/a><\/strong> in check), you\u2019ll give offer others inspiration and may even help them permit themselves to do the same. And what can be better for the world than that?<\/p>\n
