How Can Five Daily Gratitudes Increase Your Happiness?
As UC Davis psychologist Robert Emmons has demonstrated in his research, "The evidence that cultivating gratefulness is good for you is overwhelming... Specifically, we have shown that gratitude is positively related to such critical outcomes as life satisfaction, vitality, happiness, self-esteem, optimism, hope, empathy, and willingness to provide emotional and tangible support for other people, whereas being ungrateful is related to anxiety, depression, envy, materialism, and loneliness" (learn more here).

Day 194 - Missed 5DGs

Hello All,

Sorry for missing my gratitudes the past few days as well as being inconsistent over the past few weeks. The reason why is I was knee deep in getting my new business launched, www.BoroThreads.com, a online hyperlocal clothing site for New Yorkers. It launched on Wednesday and now I can sit back and relax more. So I promise to be more consistent with my gratitudes and sorry for any inconvenience it has caused you all. I appreciate all your participation and hope you understand =)

Today, I am grateful for:
1. A very successful launch of BoroThreads
2. Of getting an interview in the NTYs on the first day of launch
3. All the wonderful comments about the site
4. Feedback on a few bugs that I fixed asap
5. A relaxing weekend to recover and then move ahead next week.
