About Gratitude Journal
Have you seen a beautiful sunset? Did someone smile at you on the street? Maybe your boss praised you, or your kids did something amazing.
Moments of happiness, joy and fulfilment are all around you. You just need to get used to paying attention by using this journal, to cherish them and be grateful.
Writing about your daily sources of happiness makes you more aware of them and deepens their emotional impact.
Positive thinking requires training and exercise, like every other behavioural or physical change.
Research shows that keeping a gratitude and happiness journal (at least 3 times per week), can have profound effect on our well-being, relationships and even our health. It reduces stress and anxiety levels, and we become more creative, optimistic and enthusiastic about everything: our family, job, friends and hobbies.
So give it a try. What made you happy today?

I looked at so many gratitude journals but this one looked the best in my opinion and I believe it is. Other gratitude journal apps wanted pictures with your entries and I didn't really want that so I'm glad that's not necessary. I had another journal app but it didn't have a calender view like this one to see what day it was so I really like that and I like that it tells you how many positive things you have already put that month and you can look back at your old entries and even back up your journal entries to Google drive or send them to your email if you want. I also like if you missed putting an entry for that day you can go back to the calender view and put as many as you want. Very pleased with this app. Will probably use it for a very long time.
