What if your mood changed the moment your words did? We’re taking on the quiet thief of joy—the “if only” loop—and trading it for a grounded, daily practice of gratitude you can actually keep. Sally continues our Great Fall series by moving beyond simple “noticing” and into perspective: the lens that shapes what we see, how we feel, and what we choose next.
We unpack how “if only I were thinner, richer, promoted, partnered, or less busy” keeps contentment on layaway, then demonstrate a practical switch to phrases like “I’m glad that,” “thankfully,” and “how great that.” You’ll hear real examples across work, body, family life, friendships, and home—each one a micro-reframe that lowers stress and raises presence. This isn’t about denying hard things. It’s about guiding your attention toward assets you can use today so peace stops being a future condition and starts being a present practice.
To help you make it stick, we share low-friction habit cues: a mirror sticky note you finish each morning, a daily phone reminder labeled “Thankfully…,” a weekly “I’m glad that” journal list, and even a postcard to your future self. We close with ten powerful gratitude sentences designed to calm your nervous system and reset your inner narrator.
If you’re ready to stop postponing joy and start practicing a kinder perspective, press play and try one reframe today. Then share your favorite “how great that” with us and leave a quick review to help more listeners find a steadier kind of peace.
