Why

I used to write down five things I was grateful for each day.

(I got this from CGP Grey, who said “It sounds cheesy, but it works. It really does make you feel happier.”*)

But I found myself listing the same things over and over. I wanted a more organized list. And that’s why I came up with the alphabet of gratitude. (I keep a much longer version on my phone, and add new items as I think of them.)

*He said something like that. It was in one of the Q&A videos. I’ll post the link if I find it.
