“In an experiment by Dr. Robert Emmons at the University of California-Davis, people who kept a “gratitude journal,” a weekly record of things they felt grateful for, enjoyed better physical health, were more optimistic, exercised more regularly, and described themselves as happier than a control group who didn’t keep journals.” ~ Marci Shimoff from Happy for No Reason
