Tools...

...No matter how inventive, are only useful when they have a purpose.

Remember the iDoneThis tool that Yishu shared about previously? Well I thought it was a really cool tool and have been wanting to find a use for it in my life.

So I signed up and tried to use it for a while to record the things I had completed on a daily basis. But it didn't seem very useful because I didn't actually have a clear purpose of why and what I wanted to record.

Until yesterday when it hit me! I could use it to record the things I am thankful about each day! It would be like my own gratitude diary! Having been a psychology student, I have came across many many studies previously of how cultivating a sense of gratitude for the little things in our lives can build resilience. 

So I'm going to start small, be mindful, and learn to count my blessings each day!
