Because you have to make it a practice.

and I think gratitude is so key but how did you start actually did you keep a journal what was your I started keeping a journal but I don't have the ability to like stick to anything so it became something that I just had a really strong inner monologue about and really forced myself to like example today I'm coming here there's a seven minute on my google maps I somehow end up on the equivalent of the Sydney Harbour Bridge which is the opposite way to work

So I'm passing work over the side of the freeway.

I can see the building and I'm looking 13 minutes now.

So I've added, you know, 10 minutes of my journey.

And do you know what I do now?

And I believe it.

It's like, okay, well, that's happened for a reason.

Thank God I took the wrong turn.

Maybe I was going to run over someone's dog had I gone the other way.

And I believe it.

I'm like, yeah, there's a reason that I've taken the wrong turn.

And had I run over someone's dog, I would have thought, oh man, or worse, I would have thought, oh God, I wish I hadn't been in such a hurry.

I wish I'd, you know, anything but running over the dog.

But now I have this attitude of like, well, there's a reason I've made this mistake.

And I'm just going to believe that...

whatever's happened has happened for a reason.

And I'm grateful that that dog is still alive.

Like it sounds ridiculous, but you do it enough and your body just automatically does it.

And like, even when things get hard now and life is hard, like interest rates are killing us and petrol is killing us.
