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

• My mind runs a constant scan for what’s wrong and what I’m missing, and even on days when plenty is actually fine I end up feeling vaguely deprived
• My attention defaults to what’s missing and what’s wrong, and even when I try to be grateful it’s the same rote list
• People around me do helpful things all the time and I feel the appreciation but it just stays in my head
• I write the same three things in my gratitude list every day
• I don’t want a one-off thank-you
