On Monday, Leena collected a stone for every worry. By Friday, she couldn’t lift her coat.
The Exercise – Her mentor said, “Left pocket: worry stones. Right pocket: gratitude notes.”
The Surprise – By Wednesday, the left pocket dragged. The right pocket felt feather-light—yet warmer.
The Swap – She wrote a gratitude for every worry she couldn’t control. Some worries shrank; some stayed, but felt handled.
The Weekend – She emptied the left pocket into a bowl, labeled it “Things I survived.”
Life Lessons
- Naming a worry is step one; balancing it is step two.
- Gratitude doesn’t erase weight; it redistributes it.
- Ritual objects make mental habits visible.
