The gratitude thing is so true. There have been studies done to demonstrate that even consciously practicing gratitude for one day had a positive impact on a group of test subjects up to three months later when compared to a control group of test subjects who had similar levels of life satisfaction. It literally helps to rewire the brain.

I’m sorry for your losses, grief is a hell of a thing to go through and it never presents itself the same way twice. As for the lay-offs, I felt that on a cellular level. I lost my previous job earlier this year and found it much harder to process than I thought I would. Your progress on working on yourself is admirable. šŸ’š

Yeah gratitude is truly miraculous as far as I'm concerned. I'm really sorry that you had to go through that! It's considered one of the most challenging things we have to deal with for a reason (job loss)! that feeling of insecurity for not knowing if you'll be able to provide for yourself financially paired with the feeling of not knowing when you'll be employed again is just agonizing
