I embrace any chance to celebrate and be present in the moment – Thanksgiving is no exception, so I have a fun Thanksgiving song playlist to share! I find that music is such an effective way to set the tone and focus on a theme. There certainly are not tons of people singing Thanksgiving songs on the radio, but with a little creativity you can find plenty of music to fit the occasion!
As a mind-body movement instructor, I find so much joy in the fact that music can be used to lift our spirits and inspire us to get moving. This Thanksgiving song playlist consists of music that I use in my classes during this time of year (I LOVE a fun theme!) I also use these songs during movement breaks, walks, runs, dance parties with my children and other “non exercise” types of movement like doing housework (music is a perfect accompaniment to so many activities!)
To me, Thanksgiving is a time to focus on gratitude and my family. Because of this, I am always mindful about staying present and aware of what the holiday means to me during this week, despite the fact that it is such a busy time of year. Playing music that reminds me of this theme helps me to stay grounded, lighthearted and present in the moment.
If you would like to see a quick “chat” with me on this topic, check out my video below:
Gratitude, mindfulness and movement all hold a special place in my heart and I am so appreciative of anything that reinforces that for me. As G.K. Chesterton said so perfectly, “I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.”
I am thankful for so many things and I hope this Thanksgiving song playlist helps you to also focus on joy and gratitude!
