Today I look at how journals can help people with wellbeing and look at five strategies to improve gratitude and wellbeing in day-to-day life. 

Check out this excellent episode of the Jordan Harbinger podcast ‘Leveraging the Happiness Advantage’ with Shawn Achor for further information about wellbeing. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Xj4Eod7YlTIrE8UtmMPEs 

Here is a brief summary of the five approaches Shawn advocated.

1)     Gratitude email daily. 

2)     Three things you are grateful for in journal. 

3)     One thing in bullet pointed detail.

4)     Exercise – 15 minutes daily.

5)     Meditation and regular breathing exercises.

Sam Harris ‘Waking Up’ – great meditation app I use daily. Also, lots of discussion about meditation and mindfulness with guest speakers. 

Check out ‘Philosophies for Life’ series on You Tube. Stoic episodes excellent. 

Stay happy!
