This extra credit assignment on gratitude started with one video (linked below) called The Amazing Effects of Gratitude. I liked it a lot. It talks about gratitude's location on the emotion scale. It talked about people tracking how grateful they were for a week and each day what they were grateful for. After following this month after month, happiness increased. The idea was that a gratitude journal improves the physical, emotional, and mental health of individuals over time.
Then, on the suggested videos sidebar I saw, The Gratitude Experiment (also linked below). It suggested that a gratitude journal is also beneficial, but went on to challenge the watcher to do an activity. This activity was actually one of several in what the speaker called a well cast journal.
I followed to the related videos that introduced the idea of this WellCast journal and liked the idea. I have decided to watch these videos for the next several weeks and participate in the challenge. If you are interested here is the link. WellCast Challenge
