Moments of Appreciation

Gratitude doesn’t need journals or apps. Just small pauses to notice what’s working.

1. Three good things

Before bed, name three things that went right today — big or small. Train your brain to spot positives alongside problems.

2. The thank-you note habit

Once a week, send one short thank-you — email, text, or sticky note. It lifts you as much as it lifts them.

3. Savor your tea (or coffee)

Next sip, pause. Notice the warmth, the aroma, the act of stopping. Appreciation isn’t abstract; it’s sensory.

Appreciation doesn’t deny difficulty — it balances it with reminders of what’s already good.
