Twelve weeks ago, I started doing something small—I began writing down ten things I was grateful for, two or three times a day, in the notes app on my phone. Nothing fancy. Just small, real things. A walk I took. Good food I made. An interesting conversation with a friend.
I’m not sharing this because I think everyone should do it. I’m not saying it’s the answer to anything. But after a couple of weeks, I noticed something: my nervous system felt different. Calmer.
The hard feelings didn’t disappear. I still feel stress, sadness, anxiety. But those feelings don’t drive the car anymore. They’re still there—just not in charge. That shift feels like a quiet miracle.
If you’re in a season where things feel a little too much—or if you’re just curious—maybe there’s space to try your own version of this. It doesn’t have to be ten things, or multiple times a day. It doesn’t even have to be written, honestly. But it does help to keep a rhythm. Something steady. Something you return to. And if you miss a day, you just come back to it the next.
