I think everyone wishes their lives are just handed to em on a silver platter, and I do too sometimes but like you said, it's the things you work hard for that you enjoy the most when you've gotten what you wanted.
So this is something quirky that I do and it's one of those "yeah I know, blah blah make fun" things but, ok, so everyday I pretty much end it by browsing the web and whatnot and while I'm still on my laptop, i open up this little journal that I've been keeping since I was, idk, like 14 and I take a minute or two and just jot down whatever was good about the day. It really takes like 2 minutes and if I'm having a shitty day, I'd still bs something like "I took a nice dump". I think it helps to warp my mind into habitually thinking about nicer things in my life rather than focusing on crap, and there's crap for sure, and for that, I deal with it by trollin on GA
