Why Thanksgiving May Be the Healthiest Holiday

Why Thanksgiving May Be the Healthiest Holiday

Winfield, IL (PRWEB) November 11, 2005

Setting aside one day a year to focus on giving thanks is wonderful, but cultivating it as a habit of living would lead to proven psychological, spiritual, and even physical benefits. Learning to look at life through the “lens of gratefulness” can turn around anyone’s life in a matter of days.

“People need a little bit of help in cultivating this way of seeing,” says Diane Eble, a Winfield, Illinois resident and authority on how gratitude can change one’s attitude. Eble, who jokingly calls herself a “spiritual optometrist” who equips people with the “glasses” to see daily gifts often missed, has also written a book on the topic, Abundant Gifts, released last October.

Once a person really grabs hold of this way of seeing, the effects are amazing, Eble says. She can tell your audience:

-How one woman whose husband was unemployed and their marriage in trouble turned her life around in one week after learning to see her life differently

-How gratitude can be just as effective as Prozac—without the side effects

-The simple seven-minute exercise guaranteed to increase happiness

-How gratitude can improve your social relationships

-The secret that most proponents of gratitude miss, that boosts the positive effects exponentially

-How gratitude can conquer envy and materialism

Eble has many entertaining, moving stories to tell, plus hard information on how gratitude changes one’s life—permanently. Call her today at 630-665-0843 for an interview (if no answer, 630-779-2718).
