30 Days of Hygge, Day 20: Start a (Gratitude) Journal
Welcome to 30 Days of Hygge, Day 20!
Journaling is a great way to record not only what’s happening in your life, but also how you feel and what’s going on in your head every day. Gratitude journaling further focuses that to help make you more mindful of the positive things in your life.
