Do you want to know how to attract only the good things into your life?
The answer is…
↓↓↓
Gratitude.
But the key is “gratitude from the heart.”
Even if we know in our head that gratitude is important,
negative thoughts still sneak in sometimes, don’t they?
So how can we truly feel gratitude from the heart, consistently?
The one who gives us the answer to this question is Jay.
I highly recommend his project.
It’s delivered straight from a remote island in Vietnam—
and you’ll definitely feel his energy shining through.
If this resonates with you, please take part and experience it yourself!

JAY-kun, you’re wonderful~~ 🌸
If we can make “thank you” a habit,
our luck rises and more and more people are drawn to us, right? ✨
It got me thinking, too!

1. “Three Thank-Yous of the Day” Practice*Before going to bed, write down three small things you were thankful for today.
(Examples: the soothing aroma of coffee, finding a flower on the street, being lifted by a friend’s smile.)
*Even the tiniest things are fine. The more you continue, the better you get at noticing “small happiness.”2. “Gratitude Walk” Practice
*While taking a walk, observe your surroundings and silently say thank you for what you notice.
(Examples: thank you for the air I can breathe, thank you to the roadside trees, thank you to whoever cleaned this path.)
*Through the lens of gratitude, the scenery starts to look more vivid.3. “Gratitude Post-it” Practice
*Keep Post-its at home or work. Whenever you feel grateful during the day, jot down a quick note and stick it up.
*At night, look at them all together—you’ll see your day lined with small moments of joy.4. “Gratitude Letter (Short)” Practice
*It doesn’t need to be handed directly. Just write one line to someone you felt thankful for that day.
(Examples: Thank you for making me laugh today. / Thank you for sharing a delicious lunch with me.)
*Writing builds the power of expressing gratitude.5. “Breath of Gratitude” Practice
*With each deep breath, imagine: “Inhale = receiving something to be grateful for” / “Exhale = sending thank you back to the world.”
*Even one minute lets gratitude soak into your heart and body.✨ I really recommend Jay’s project.

It’s not just that people with depression often have poor gut health!!

Summary with ChatGPT

1. Reexamining Beliefs
Self-definitions like “I can’t love my neighbor” are often just beliefs.
Assumptions such as “people will drift away” are simply scripts you’ve written yourself.
The first step is to discard those scripts and question your premises.
2. Sense of Distance with Others
Everyone has a different comfort zone in relationships.
The key is to find your own “just right” distance.
Build relationships based on your standards, not others’.
3. Autonomy in Choices and Actions
Example: Even if a sale invite tempts you, if you’ve decided to “buy at full price,” act accordingly.
Marriage and relationships should not be “special cases.” First, know what you seek.
Before searching for ideals in others, understand your own lifestyle and comfort standards.
4. Responsibility Lies with the Individual
A daughter’s life belongs to her, not her mother.
Persuasion like “Grandma will be sad” (using a third party as hostage) is inappropriate.
State your opinion as your own will—that is sincerity.
5. Your Own Axis and Passion
Don’t blame others; consciously choose your own state of mind.
Find something you can immerse yourself in—joyful time builds a healthy heart.
6. Training the Mind
Just like skincare or muscle training, the mind can also be trained.
Habits matter: practice centering on “What do I want?” “How do I feel?”
Even “I can’t do it” is nothing more than a script you’ve written yourself.
7. The Flexibility to Doubt Yourself
Better to not assume “I know myself best.”
Sometimes you can’t even trust yourself—so question your premises and keep practicing.
8. Message of the Book
Grip of the Past, Buoyancy of the Future is a guidebook for those who struggle in life or tend to blame themselves and others.
It conveys hope: Your mindset can be rewritten anytime, again and again.
No matter your age, you can change your script and move in a new direction.
✅ Conclusion
Life is not determined by “others or circumstances,” but is a script you can rewrite. By redefining distance and relationships based on how you want to live, and by training your mental habits, you can transform life into a more autonomous, comfortable path.
