Practices that may help
- Gratitude Journaling, Done Well
Regularly writing down a few specific things you are grateful for reliably nudges well-being upward and lowers self-reported stress — the effect is real but modest, and it depends far more on depth and specificity than on frequency. Daily, shallow lists tend to fade fast; less-frequent, vivid entries hold up better. - Write gratitude entries with specificity, not generality
