why I recommend this book to start your journaling

This book is THE starting point if you want to be successful at journaling and learning gratitude. Here is why: 👇

1. it gives day by day tasks that are bite-sized and manageable. it is VERY easy to get overwhelmed with a lengthy gratitude/journaling practice, but this book really takes about 10 minutes a day, and the tasks are very mindful of your time and energy.

2. I'm assuming you want to start journaling in order to feel better, work through some stuff, and/or be aware of what's going well and not well in your life. this book helps you to identify those areas and gives you strategies and tools to improve your challenges and acknowledge your strengths!

3. the tasks build on themselves in a fun way. some tasks you do nearly every day, and others you do only once, still others, you take the work you've already done and build on that to improve your attitude even more! ✨️

4. there are different areas of focus. if you have a specific goal for your relationships, or money, or health, this book gives you SPECIFIC tasks that can help improve those areas. it's pretty diverse in the tasks, too!
