Grateful for the tiny routines that keep me grounded via /r/gratitude

Life has been a bit chaotic lately, long work hours, some unexpected family stress, and a lot of uncertainty. But weirdly, what’s been keeping me sane is my little morning routine.

Every day, I make the same cup of coffee, sit in the same spot by the window, and give myself ten minutes to just be. No phone, no email, no noise. Just quiet. I didn’t realize how much I needed that stillness until I started looking forward to it more than anything else.

It’s not a big thing, but it’s made a big difference. I’m genuinely grateful for the small moments that help me feel human again.

Anyone else have a tiny ritual or habit that brings comfort?
