Have you heard that it is pretty difficult for a stressed nervous system to feel gratitude? I have also really struggled with noticing the beautiful things in life and feeling gratitude when I KNOW it's meant to be so good for us and it's the good thing to do. And then I'd beat myself up because I wasn't feeling enough gratitude... lately, I've been giving myself grace for not always feeling gratitude but I am trying to make a list of gratitudes before I go to sleep. And trying to calm my nervous system.

You are sharing real thoughts that connect with me so deeply! I ask myself every week is all of this hustle and hard work worth it, will it turn into anything? But then on the flip side is any of it worth it? It's so important to be softer with ourselves and you capture that perfectly

Anna, thank you so much for sharing this! My brain is so scattered as well, I guess that's why I love writing so much. It helps me get clarity and put my thoughts in order. :-)

I love your thought on our parents creating circumstances, so we could enjoy the treasures of life as kids. Of course, kids are way more in the moment than we are by nature.

Maybe we have to learn how to do these things in a new way when we are grown up. We tend to forget to just be in the moment, stand still and enjoy the little things. We are so driven by our endless to do lists that we are constantly on alert for the next thing to do or accomplish. Our brain is so busy with planning and worrying that we tend to not see the beauty of this very moment. We jump from one content to the next in minutes and seconds. This is exhausting and puts us on alert.

I love your idea of diving deep into whatever you are doing in that moment. In a way this is like meditating. I will definitely try that today! Thank you!!!
