Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I don’t want a one-off thank-you
- I tried writing down what I’m grateful for every single day and within a week it went numb
- When I look back, whole months feel like they just evaporated
- An open-ended "do this forever" instantly overwhelms me, but tell me it’s a thirty-day thing with a clear finish line and I’ll dig in
- I keep waiting for some big win to feel grateful for, and meanwhile the whole day of small good things
