Everybody is familiar with the feeling that things are not as they should be. That you are not successful enough, your relationships not satisfying enough. That you don’t have the things you crave. In the last two decades, researchers have been starting to investigate how we can counteract these impulses.
And after researching these studies carefully, talking to experts and trying out these findings ourselves we made a thing: the kurzgesagt Gratitude Journal.It is structured in a way that will make it a bit easier to get into the habit of gratitude journaling. There are short explanations and reflections to mix it up and make it more interesting. We also made it as pretty as we could.
This is both a book and a journal at the same time. Although it is primarily written by you, every once in a while it provides interesting insights from various studies on how expressing gratitude can improve your well-being.
It's also an excellent tool for developing a consistent gratitude habit. It took me more than a year to complete; I had some pauses, but I kept coming back to it, and in the process, I built another good habit.
If you're a Kurzgesagt fan and are interested in this kind of topic, it's definitely for you. I was just looking through some pages I filled out months ago, and it felt so heartwarming—that's another great benefit to consider.
