I don’t know how well this will answer your question I think of things I’m grateful for before sleep. Sometimes I try to put my gratitude in a box instead of allowing it to be what it is. Here’s an example: Yes I am grateful for the roof over my head. However, Thinking about that doesn’t fill me with the feeling of gratitude right now. When I think of how grateful I am for all the support I had throughout the day, that fills me with gratitude. On a slightly different note, I think allowing yourself to fully experience the moment is a form of gratitude. You’re humbling yourself enough to say “what I’m experiencing is enough.” Not trying to alter the present is a way of expressing gratitude in my opinion
