## What Jamie wrote

Rockwell kept a gratitude journal for 30 days and saw a lot of value. He has 5 recommendations to pursue this.

> 1. Gratitude is disproportionately beneficial.
> 2. Aim low.
> 3. Gratitude shifts mindset.
> 4. Modeling increases confidence.
> 5. Modeling expands credibility.

I have dabbled with this practice multiple times, and I have found it to be a positive experience. But, I've never been able to keep it going for more than a couple of weeks. This experience gives me fuel to keep pushing on this. I have found Greg Bell's [What's Going Well](https://www.gregbellspeaks.com/wgw) framework to be the easiest to use. Perhaps a good New Year Resolution?
