I am so fortunate to have a roof over my head. Hot water. Food in my pantry. Gas in my car.
for me the ones that come to mind: able to walk (and run), not stuck under strict bed rest for days, not in excruciating pain, able to sleep at night, not so fatigued I don't want to get out of bed, not wanting to die, not having PTSD nightmares
there are many others - while it really seems like a stupid exercise, when I was really suffering mentally, I found contemplating times when I was in much worse pain or stress and focusing in what ways I was not currently in pain or stressed really did help me feel a kind of happiness and gratitude that improved my overall mood. (I would do this for like 30 minutes once a day, usually in the morning before I got out of bed - just trying to maximize the comfort, bodily ease, happiness, etc. that I felt, and then trying to re-iterate my intention to cultivate that in my life and that I desire this kind of stuff for everyone - everyone deserves to be healthy, happy, content, etc.).
usually I just ignore the way I feel when I'm not in pain, but if I actually sit and think about what it feels like to be content and have ease with my body in contrast with how my body feels when I'm sick or injured, I can actually connect with a pleasurable feeling of contentedness that I can then better recognize and enjoy more frequently.
I don't want to imply happiness is always a choice, but I have been surprised at how well "thinking" as a tool has worked at providing some relief (even if it's ultimately a bandaid until you can get through the hard times and hopefully find ourself in better circumstances).
