By writing down five things each day that you are grateful for, you will notice random acts of kindness more often. Your blessings will expand and grow, and your perceptions of what you think you need will change. You will learn how much is often taken for granted and how little things really do mean a lot. A gratitude journal is a fresh start to a sunnier view. Treasure and delight in the positive things you have to be grateful for.
"those who kept gratitude journals on a weekly basis exercised more regularly, reported fewer physical symptons, felt better about their lives as a whole, and were more optimistic about the upcoming week compared to those who recorded hassles or neutral life events."- Robert A. Emmons and Michael E. McCullough, Co-Investigators
