Restoring a Happy Balance.

The Gratitude Garden is an app intended to help you maintain the gratitude practice of noting down three good things that have happened over the past 24 hours.

"By cultivating gratefulness, we are freed from envy over what we don't have or who we are not. It doesn't make life perfect, but with gratitude comes the realisation that right now, in this moment, we have enough, we are enough."

The one thing to focus on to improve wellbeing is GRATITUDE

Grateful people are more humble, have more positive emotions, and people with more positive emotions are healthier to be around.

Nurtured through intentional activity and can  be developed into the habit.

Be grateful for those who have wronged you.

Be grateful in trying times.
