it works no matter how i’m feeling. when i’m happy, it’s soooo easy to gush about things i’m grateful for. when i’m struggling, it forces me to slow down and helps me recognize that the littlest things can be anchors. last time i got the flu, i was ready to die on my bathroom floor with a 101 degree fever and i truly believe i made it through the night by saying „thank you, my body which fights so hard for me even if i don’t agree with your methods”
do it when you’re laying cozy in bed, when eating something good, when feeling safe in someone’s arms, during a moment of peace, when experiencing something new, or something good, when it could have been worse, when finally sitting down after standing a long time, when taking a sip of water, whenever you see a dog
This is great antidote for anything forced. Like forced joviaity during the festive season. I'm truly grateful and I remember to say thank you to the people I really am grateful to.
i struggle sometimes to make myself clean when tired, sad, etc - enter one clorox wipe. no matter how low you feel or how big the mess it will always be an improvement to just take ten measly seconds and run one clorox wipe over the counter, or the sink, or your nightstand. one clorox wipe sometimes gives me the get-up-and-go for more tasks, but even if it doesn’t it always at least leaves things a little better than before
