Gratitude Journal

10 minutes per entry | Gratitude

How do I do it?
Keep a journal where you write in detail about things you are grateful for in your life.

How does it work?
By default, our attention is drawn to problems and obstacles in life. This exercise helps you notice, in ways both big and small, what is going well.
