Gratitude = focus on the good things going = less time in a brain’s fight or flight mode. Generally a healthy form of living. Thanks for the posting.

I’m grateful this post reminded me of a “shut the brain down and get to sleep” strategy I’d picked up from a family friend in the past couple of years. I may need it in the upcoming month. When I’d had trouble finding sleep, “ My friend recommended to start at the top of the alphabet and recite in your head something you’re grateful for starting with A and on down the alphabet. Works wonders. I think I might make it to J or K before drifting off. Worries now postponed for the waking world.
