Gratitude

1 February 2026

Gratitude is a hell of a drug. Once you make it a habit, days feel a bit more pleasant, or at least bearable.

And it doesn’t have to always be about big things. Start with the small things, like delicious food, early morning sunlight, etc.

Just say it quietly to yourself “I really appreciate how this ramen makes my tummy feel” or “The sun on my skin feels comforting.”

Gratitude is just like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the more you become capable of appreciating the bigger things.
