Wall Street Crashed, But My Therapist Says I’m Doing Great

Today, the Dow dropped 1,600 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq saw their worst day since 2020.

Screens turned red. Portfolios shrank. And yet beyond the numbers there’s still room for gratitude.

Breathe.

Gratitude isn’t about ignoring pain. It’s about finding meaning in spite of it. Maybe you lost money, but not your ability to earn again. Maybe the market fell, but your loved ones are safe, your coffee still warm, your heartbeat steady. That's not nothing.

Economic storms remind us how fragile things are. But they also show us what’s solid: Relationships. Resilience. Hope.

Take a moment. Text someone you love. Stretch your arms. Remember: the market is a machine, but you are not. You're human. And humans heal.

The Dow will rise again. The Nasdaq will recover. But your spirit, your quiet decision to cherish Gratitude, that is what truly rebounds, stronger every time.

And it matters.
