the cheat code that tricks your brain into thinking it already has enough
means Feeling and showing thankful appreciation for kindnesses received or good things in your life.
from From an old English word 'grate' meaning 'pleasing, thankful' — now obsolete on its own — which came from Latin 'gratus,' meaning 'pleasing, welcome, thankful.' That same Latin root is a generous one: it seeded 'grace,' 'gratitude,' 'gratis' (free, as a favor), and even 'ingrate' (the one who forgot to say thanks). So 'grateful' is literally 'full of gratus' — brimming with the sense that something good has been given.
