Sometimes you need to appreciate what you have, who you are, and what you have done in your life; it’s good for the soul. November 12th is a day to take some time to think about these things as part of National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day.

What Is National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day?

Known for being a warming meal, chicken soup can be the antidote to a tough day or just something warming that makes us feel comforted. The smell, the steam, and the feeling of home make it feel nurturing, which is great for our health, both mental and physical.

This is now a time to reflect on the person you are and all you have achieved. National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day is a humble day, named after the publisher of the same name. They’ve published several books, many of them with inspiring stories from ordinary people. They did not create the day but have had a say in how it came about.

How To Observe National Chicken Soup for the Soul Day

One of the easiest ways to observe this day is by taking some time for yourself. Read a book and meditate, but don’t forget to think about your lifetime of achievements. You can tell a friend how they inspire you and lift their spirits, or listen to some calming, soulful music. Why not watch an uplifting movie that makes you feel good?

Don’t forget to make some chicken soup so you can revel in the glory that is soul food. Share your plans with the hashtag #ChickenSoupForTheSoulDay—you never know, you just might inspire someone else to observe it too.
