Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • However I wake up is how my whole day goes
  • I keep waiting for some big win to feel grateful for, and meanwhile the whole day of small good things
  • I don’t want a one-off thank-you
  • The first thing I do awake is grab my phone, and by the time I’m out of bed the inbox and the headlines have already set my mood for me
  • I write the same three things in my gratitude list every day
