Day 12: Gratitude Rewiring

Day 12: Gratitude Rewiring

List 3 specific gratitudes.

Journal:

• Did this feel forced or natural?

  Set aside five quiet minutes to intentionally practice gratitude rewiring. Close your eyes, take a few slow breaths, and allow your nervous system to settle before identifying three specific things you are genuinely grateful for today. Be concrete rather than general—notice small, precise details such as the warmth of sunlight through a window, a supportive message from a friend, or the steadiness of your own body carrying you through the day. As you name each one, pause and feel it rather than rushing to the next. Observe where gratitude registers physically—perhaps as warmth in the chest, relaxation in the shoulders, or a subtle lift in mood. Afterward, reflect honestly: Did this practice feel forced, neutral, or natural? If it felt difficult, what thoughts or emotional patterns surfaced that made gratitude harder to access?
