Grateful post-ers: if you have a moment, please let us know what this exercise did for you. How have your outlooks/feelings changed after 2-3 weeks of this?

For me, the last 3 weeks were stressful (new job promotion, full calendar, full “plate”), but reminders of simple pleasures/comforts helped my perspective.

Please feel free to continue if so inclined. Love you all💕💕
