Why is it so hard to be grateful and present at the moment

r/

Why do I find it so hard to be present and grateful. When I achieve my goal I immediatelly aim for other one. Or look at the bad sides of things. I almost never have been able to focus on good things going on in present. I always find something to stress and worry about.

    Sometimes our brains act like a toxic coach – “Nice goal, now do better”. Never satisfied, always yelling.

    It’s super common though. Gratefulness takes actual practice, like brushing your teeth but for your soul. Try writing down 3 tiny good things daily, even if it’s “my socks match” or “didn’t spill coffee”. Start rewiring your brain one small win at a time.

    I’m sorry you feel this way. I have felt this once.. Take it day by day and it should level out 🤞🏽🤞🏽
