Practicing gratitude raises my spirits and brings more abundance

Careful with the second half. Gratitude does reliably lift a mood; whether it delivers abundance depends entirely on what you mean by abundance, and treating it as a payment system turns thanks into a transaction.

What it actually does is change the inventory. Someone who scans for what's working finds more of it — not because the world changed, but because they'd stopped counting.

Abundance, in the honest sense, is often just noticing you already had enough of something you were anxious about.

Try it as practice, not as strategy. Practice has no expected return, which is exactly why it works.
