Gratitude affirmations
24 short, believable lines, for the moment you're in.
Gratitude doesn't need a perfect day. It works best on ordinary ones, when you stop for a second and notice what's quietly going right.
These lines point your attention at the small, real things that are easy to rush past.

How to use them
The most useful gratitude is specific, so after you pick a line, name the actual thing in your head: which person, which moment, which small comfort. Evenings work well, when you can look back over the day. One line with one real example is enough to feel the difference.
