The importance of gratitude journal #shorts

Oh, I hate the sound of this. It just almost makes me embarrassed to say this. Keep a Gratitude journal. Ugh, doesn't that sound cloying and annoying and just so precious? Here's the problem, though. It actually works. It's very easy to go through any day in life saying woe is me. The weather's bad, I got cut off in traffic. I lost that. Big deal. It's very easy to fixate on the negative, and the sheer act of writing down something you're grateful for can change your attitude, can make you feel better. And when you feel better, when you feel happier, everything else in life can go better. You're more likely to exercise, you're more likely to smile at someone, you're more likely to have a good social interaction, and you're more likely to be creative. So yes, it sounds trite, but writing down what you're grateful for in a gratitude journal is a good thing. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
