Try to hold both the frustration and the gratitude with equal intensity. Notice what happens. Most people find that one begins to overshadow the other. Intentionally deepen your focus on gratitude. Recall details, sensory experiences, and why this particular gift matters to you. Return attention to your initial worry. Has something shifted in your relationship to it? Not that it’s disappeared, but has its hold on your attention changed? https://godinallthings.com/2025/03/24/the-first-virtue-st-ignatius-on-the-power-of-gratitude/
