Get 28 days of gentle gratitude prompts
Wake up, grab a tea or coffee, and start building a self-care routine you actually enjoy.
Each day you'll get a compassionate acknowledgement prompt (where we give our brain permission to gently acknowledge anything we're struggling with), a new guided gratitude prompt, and a gratitude and neuroscience-related fact or quote.
Start rewiring your neuronal pathways
The human brain is naturally wired to focus more heavily on noticing, attending to, and recalling negative information (that could signal a threat) than positive information (that could signal a reward).
This is really useful in terms of protecting us, but when this bias gets out of control it can lead to:
- hypervigilance and anxiety
- rumination and low mood
- negative thought cycles and 'loops'
- difficulties enjoying life (we need bigger better and more exciting things to happen before we can feel joy)
- difficulty appreciating good things for very long
- fixation on flaws in ourselves, others, and situations
- flat or rapidly fluctuating moods

Is this 'toxic positivity'?
No. Gratitude should not be about pretending things are fine when they aren't, or 'putting on a brave face'.
This journal encourages you to compassionately acknowledge both the tough stuff and the good stuff, so you can gently challenge your brain's natural, in-built negativity bias.
People with a regular gratitude practice tend to:
- Feel less intense negative emotions even when faced with the same challenging evens and situations as others
- Naturally notice more opportunities to smile or feel lucky, which tends to trigger more positive thoughts and emotions
- Be able to simultaneously acknowledge and process the tough stuff, while also feeling thankful for the good stuff
- Be more resilient when things go wrong
- Enjoy the good days more intensely and for longer
- Be able to acknowledge the tough stuff compassionately, without getting stuck in long cycles of rumination
- Have healthier relationships and feel more fulfilled within those relationships
- Derive more pleasure than the average person from simple daily experiences
- Have better emotional management than the average person
- Have less intense swings in emotion
- Move on from negative emotions more quickly
