These seemingly insignificant moments add up. Two, gratitude reframes your perspective. Ever felt like you're stuck in a rut? Like everything is going wrong? Well, gratitude acts as a powerful reframer. It helps us see challenges not as insurmountable obstacles, but as opportunities for growth and learning.
