    What is a Gratitude Journal?

    Keeping a gratitude diary or journal is a popular practice in positive psychology. At the end of each day, you record three things that you are thankful for. This personal reflection teaches your brain to focus on positive moments. After some time you’ll begin to be more thankful and feel happier.

    Some studies show this can boost your mood by even 10%.
    Cultivate Happiness.
