That’s a great point. When we pause to notice the small good things each day, we give our bodies a chance to relax and our minds a chance to reset. For women who manage many roles, a short gratitude practice can reduce stress hormones, improve sleep, and help us feel more connected to ourselves and to those around us. It’s a gentle reminder that even amid busy days, we deserve a moment of calm. If you’d like, I can suggest a few easy ways to get started.

Here are a few things I love that are quick and easy to fit in any day. First, start with a simple breathing pause—inhale for four seconds, hold for four, exhale for four. While you’re breathing, silently name one thing you’re grateful for. Next, stick a bright sticky note on your bathroom mirror and write a short thank you to yourself for something you did that day. Finally, keep a tiny notebook in your purse and jot down one good thing before bed. It only takes a minute, but it can shift your whole outlook.

I’ve found that the breath‑and‑thank is usually the easiest, especially in a rush. The sticky note works for those who like visual reminders, and the purse journal is great when you’re on the go. Some people do miss a few days when life gets hectic—then I suggest a quick variation: try a “three‑things” list on a phone note, or record a short voice memo at night. These tweaks keep the habit flexible without adding extra steps. If you want more ideas, just let me know.

Thank you so much for your encouragement. I’ll keep breathing, thanking, and sharing the small moments that bring us all a little more peace.
