You sit across from the person you share a life with and try to list what you're grateful for — and realize you stopped noticing the small things somewhere between year two and now.
What started with the gratitude inventory just got more complicated. Now you need to identify and articulate the specific things your partner does that you've stopped noticing — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to identify and articulate the specific things your partner does that you've stopped noticing not just today, but every time this situation returns.
