The classic Nintendo Entertainment System’s reset button was my third-best friend growing up as a hotheaded youth in the 80s, right behind my dudes Jesse and J.J.

There’s always something to be grateful for. We can practice gratitude by focusing on the Now, and visualizing something we’re grateful for.
