No Tariffs on What Matters: Gratitude in a Shifting Economy

Tariffs suck—no doubt about it. The latest wave of them is stirring up real emotions: frustration, confusion, and uncertainty. From inflated grocery bills to unexpected price hikes on everyday essentials, the emotional weight can feel heavy and relentless.

When you catch yourself spiraling into “How am I going to afford this? What will I have to give up next?”—pause. Take a deep breath. And ground yourself in GRATITUDE.

When (IF) Prices Go Up, Breathe Deeper

You can’t control the policies being put in place, but you can control how you respond to them.

Tariffs impact everything—from food to gifts to the smallest indulgences that bring us joy. It’s easy (and valid) to get swept up in the fear of not having enough. But living in a space of “what ifs” is a dangerous loop. It raises cortisol levels, fogs your thinking, and cuts off access to creativity and hope.

Gratitude doesn’t make the stress disappear, but it does shift your focus. It helps you see what’s still within your reach—like a smile, a good conversation, or a peaceful moment. These things cost zero dollars and deliver real emotional returns.

Gratitude Helps You Stay Centered When Everything Feels Uncertain

When the cost of living rises faster than your paycheck—rent, gas, even eggs—gratitude becomes a grounding force. It won’t fix everything, but it will help you find balance.

That’s why we encourage our community to track their GRATITUDE W.I.N.S.—the little moments that bring unexpected joy. Download our free GRATITUDE W.I.N.S Bingo Card and start noticing the magic in your everyday life.

Want to take it up a notch? Join the Living in GRATITUDE Today Movement. Each weekday, you’ll get a Gratitude Action Step (aka G.A.S.) to help you fuel up emotionally and focus on your joys, not just your “oys.”

Gratitude may not change what’s on your receipt—but it will change how you show up for your life.
