Recall a challenge you faced recently. What are you grateful for that helped you get through it?

Challenges often narrow our focus to what’s difficult, urgent, or unresolved. But even in the middle of strain, there are usually supports at work — people, habits, inner strengths, or small moments of relief — that make endurance possible. These supports can be easy to miss once the challenge has passed, especially if the outcome feels incomplete or imperfect.

This prompt invites you to look back at a recent difficulty with a different lens. Consider what helped you hold steady or move forward: a conversation, a routine, a skill, a mindset, or simply the ability to pause and breathe. Naming what supported you can deepen appreciation for your resilience and reinforce awareness of the resources — internal and external — you can draw on when future challenges arise.
