My Gratitude Journal is just five minutes of your day to a better life! Psychology Today defines gratitude as an emotion expressing appreciation for what one has - as opposed to what one wants. The online magazine notes that studies show that we can deliberately cultivate gratitude, and can increase our well-being and happiness by doing so. Gratefulness - and especially expression of it to others increases energy, optimism and empathy. The app was updated in 2017. It boasts a simple interface and daily quotes to inspire your journal entry. It does not require ICloud backup. It has its own server and offers PDF export. The My Gratitude Journal app supports a holistic approach to learning by tapping into the heart and the mind. To check out the iTunes preview and testimonies about the app, press here.
