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.

Psychology in my view needs a theoritical approach. Did Freud, William James etc need to do experiments with 30 graduate students to study about the working of the mind, and behaviour of people?.

I hear what you're saying but ... have you tried it? Seems like a simple enough exercise. Heck, maybe I'll try it.
Maybe it's because my outlook is generally one of being grateful, so I may have already received the benefits without this exercise.
In any case, I'd be wary of any claims like this unless someone tries it for at least 6 months. I expect initially one will get benefits but after N months it fizzles away.

I have, and I disagree. Maybe it's because my outlook is generally one of being grateful, so I may have already received the benefits without this exercise.

Even peer reviewed research won't make me believe claims like that. Experimental psychology seems a field plagued by replicability crisis, and frankly I think the field is just a self perpetuating paper mill for those in it, and a futile pursuit.

I'm going to give it a go with the old pencil / paper. Hopefully, if it works and then fizzles away, it'll fizzle because i've gained the benefit. Six months tho - might be tough.
I don’t want to read what other people are grateful for because it just reminds me that the things I’m missing are actually important. A piece of paper and a pen works better.
Seems like the site is an outlet for gratitude. So many people are practicing gratitude there! Don’t doomscroll through their gratitudes if that’s distracting for you, and if pen and paper works better for you then that’s amazing! Goal is to just be grateful :)
I like the idea of this, but frankly the necessity of a login is too big of a barrier for me.
Or, is there value in aggregating things that people say to help those who are struggling to find a reason to be grateful. .. turn that into a weekly trend line. are people more grateful for their health during a pandemic? are people more grateful for their spouse in the summer? that sort of stuff could be interesting.
