🥇 #ThankfulnessChallenge kicked off by Uhey
Stephen Uhey will be celebrating his 10th year with Thrive Collective this spring. This week, he launched our Thankfulness Challenge with our team, and agreed to allow us to share his reflections on gratitude here.

“Sometimes it can be hard to feel thankful or grateful. This can be because of where we are at individually, as community, country, and as humanity. There’s been times when I do morning or evening gratitudes where I put very small or seemingly silly things because I don’t feel all that thankful. But putting it down helps and sometimes lifts my sights to the things I was forgetting about. That’s where I have been a lot lately.
“Yesterday I woke up extremely down and depressed. I put on a random podcast while working. A third into it, there was a very unexpected topic of discussion. It was exactly what I needed to hear.
“I am so thankful for all of you and your commitment to creativity and community. I am thankful to have the relationship and history I have with Thrive. I am thankful for the community I found through Jiu Jitsu. I am thankful for where I am at compared to where I was at this time in 2019. I’m thankful for life even though it sucks sometimes lol.
“We would like to initiate a Thankfulness/Gratefulness Challenge.
“Feel free to share this image on social media along with what you are thankful/grateful for and tag @NYCThrive #ThankfullnessChallenge ! Encourage the people from your social media communities to do the same.
“Let’s continue to put out positivity beyond our Mural and Rhyme programs.”
