Lesson Overview

1.48 – Writing a “Reasons to Stay” List: When darkness feels overwhelming, writing a “reasons to stay” list can pull you back toward hope. It can include big or small things — family, pets, a sunrise, a song, or even curiosity about what happens next. Each reason is a spark that reminds you life still has pieces worth holding onto. The list doesn’t have to be perfect or long; one word can be powerful enough to anchor you. You can keep it on your phone, in a notebook, or beside your bed for when you forget why you matter. Reading it out loud can help your brain remember that pain is temporary. As days pass, you might find new reasons to add — proof that life keeps offering moments of light. When you struggle, you can look at that list like a lifeline that whispers, “Stay one more day.” Sometimes that’s all it takes to make tomorrow possible.
