Even though life is pretty stressful right now, with the cost of living crisis and everything getting more expensive, and the cost of energy, and the NHS being in a state of near disaster, I always try to find things to be grateful for. Sometimes it can be a small thing - the important thing is to find it because if I keep trying to find it, my brain will get more practised at remembering the good, rather than than the constant onslaught of bad.
Mostly I am grateful to be alive, even though the world is in a terrible place. I am alive, I am relatively healthy, I have a job, a roof over my head, I can afford to eat and to heat my flat. I recognise that this puts me in a very privileged place.
Disease, poverty, famine and drought kill thousands of people every year. I am very lucky. I get to live, to survive, exist, and dream.
I am grateful for my life
