RE: "I am grateful for I ..."

ah the struggle of self-criticism. Some claim this may be an evolutionary adaptation and I do find that explanation compelling, though it is certainly unfortunate that this (among many other things) whilst natural, does not play into our long-term happiness. Know that you are never alone in this! Great post!

Self-criticism is an evolutionary adaptation? Can you explain more about this?Hey @ethorf, thank you for reading :)

Some studies showed that humans naturally tuned towards ingratitude, towards externally and internally. The only way to counter the "natural" is to consciously re-wire our brain to do things that will contribute to our long-term happiness.

Thank you again!
