Gratitude Shifts Everything
Holiday Motivation with Dr. Palermo & Dr. Fletcher
As we move into Thanksgiving week, Dr. Palermo and Dr. Fletcher are sharing a simple reminder: gratitude shifts everything.
It’s easy to get caught up in the rush of the holidays, planning, preparing, doing. But when we pause to notice what’s going well, what we’re thankful for, and who we get to share life with, our perspective begins to shift. The noise of what’s missing naturally quiets down, and what matters most becomes clear.
The Science Behind Gratitude
Gratitude isn’t just a mindset; it’s a physiological practice. Studies show that regularly expressing gratitude can lower stress hormones, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and even strengthen immune function.
At Thrive, we see this every day in our patients: those who take time to reflect, journal, or simply name what they’re thankful for often report better emotional balance and physical well-being.
Gratitude helps us move from reaction to restoration—from surviving to thriving.
A Simple Thanksgiving Practice
This week, take a few moments each day to notice something (or someone) you’re grateful for. Write it down. Say it aloud. Share it with a loved one.
You may be surprised how such a simple habit can change your entire day, and over time, your health.
From Our Thrive Family to Yours
We’re deeply grateful for our Thrive community and every patient who trusts us with their care.
Your stories, progress, and commitment to wellness inspire us every single day.
Here’s to a meaningful Thanksgiving week and a wonderful year ahead—rooted in gratitude, growth, and good health.
