Three tips

For people who wish to cultivate gratitude in their daily lives, Wang proposes three simple tips:

  • Reflection : Spend a few minutes every day thinking about the wonderful things in life (such as a movie, books, a TV show we enjoy, or even being able to bask in the sunshine).
  • Exposing ourselves to nature : Spend time in nature by traveling to a place where you can enjoy a magnificent environment.
  • Showing Appreciation : Writing a thank you note or verbally appreciating or thanking someone.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
