    😴 Daily Kaizen: Add a Pre-Sleep Gratitude Loop

    Action:

    Right before bed, pause and list 3 things you’re grateful for.

    You can say them out loud, write them down, or simply reflect in silence.

    Why it works:

    Your brain’s last thoughts shape your nervous system.

    Gratitude lowers cortisol, boosts serotonin, and shifts your mind into rest-and-recover mode.

    🧠 Bonus tip:

    Stack it with your evening wind-down (e.g., after brushing your teeth, before turning off the lights).
