I have used Black Lotus app [0] and on multiple occasions, its novel framework called RARE (Reflect, Act, Reinforce and Evaluate) has helped me come out of the stress/anxiety I'd suddenly found myself trapped into. There are different kinds of RARE goals depending on what you're going through at the moment (stress/lack of focus/mindfullness/etc) and each has its own duration (typically 21 days), during which you dail…

Sounds great! All those sound like good habits. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Do you want to become better at being grateful? I built a simple site where you can list 3 things you’re grateful for that day. Research shows that being grateful makes you happier and healthier. I want to help people be more grateful, especially people who are depressed. I’d appreciate your comments. Thanks!

This is awesome. I've wanted something like this for years. Thanks so much for building it.

I like the idea of this, but frankly the necessity of a login is too big of a barrier for me.

I've never understood dedicating a whole darn website to such simple concepts. Perhaps that's why I'm not rich.

It's three things! Just write them down somewhere. Heck, put them in a text file and check it into git.

I ran into a similar mindset with someone asking about BMI on another forum I frequent and someone suggested a website. It's two math operations! Just open the calculator on your phone (yes, even flip phones have one), or on the computer you're reading this on.

ETA: For those wondering, here's the three things as I heard them:

  1. Something that made you smile or happy:
  2. Something you are grateful for:
  3. Something you did well:

I guess part of my idea was to build a community committed to practicing gratitude. Yes, it's perfectly simple to do it on your own. But you'd be doing it on your own. :) Thanks for sharing!

Been doing this for a couple years now... I still have no idea if it actually makes me happy, but I enjoy the practice of it. I also write three things I accomplished in the day, no matter how large or small.

I do that too! Most of the time my gratitude journal consists of the things I accomplished that day, because I'm grateful I even get things done (I have a disorder). Thanks for sharing!

FWIW I like this idea - seeing other peoples’ gratitude serves as a good reminder for the things I should be grateful for in my own life. Lovely app!

Yes it is a good reminder, isn't it. Thanks for sharing!

Research shows that if you list at least three things you’re grateful for everyday, you will significantly improve your mental health. Does it really , or does this line just sound good? If you're going to make a claim like this, you should probably link to peer-reviewed research that backs this up.

I am a bit skeptic when it comes to these things. But, I have been doing a 1 min "prayer" every day while taking a shower in the morning. I remind myself how well I am off compared to many people and what a great family I have etc. It has really helped me to start the day with a calmer mind.
