People always tell you to practice gratitude via /r/gratitude

But it never clicked or I never listened.
Until last night… before bed, I was reviewing my day and started to Thank everyone I dealt with, and everyone was in the vicinity. Then in my mind I thanked my neighbors, the ones I say hi to sometimes and ones I don't talk to. Then I thanked for the food I bought.
Then I went on to thank my bedroom window, my floor, my ceiling, my walls, my bedroom light, my bed, my pillow, my blanket basically anything that comes to mind. Then I travelled to my past and thanked my exes and people I liked and didn't like.
I have to say it improved my mood greatly.
I also thanked the pain I have in my knuckles for doing too many push-ups.
I have to say it improved my mood greatly, I felt like I was a child of the universe, I thanked the earth, the trees, water, air….
I chatted with google notebooklm and it said that there's a ton of research that says people who are grateful are happier i guess it makes perfect sense why my mood improved greatly.
I started thanking water and forks and spoons and bowls when I did the dishes too.
Thank you for reading my post. My hope is that people try it and feel their mood elevated for themselves.
