Jim and Jori Manske introduce a daily gratitude practice designed to build resilience by noticing what has made life more wonderful, identifying the needs that were met, and savoring the feelings that arise. Participants are invited to record three gratitudes each day and explore what they themselves did to help make each experience possible, strengthening awareness of their own agency and capacity to create connection. Drawing on NVC and positive psychology, the practice offers a way to cultivate appreciation and resourcefulness without ignoring pain or unmet needs.
