Find a partner
Someone to share your three good things with
A gratitude partner is the secret to keeping the habit going. Tell me a little about yourself and I'll help pair you with someone who wants to practise too.
Short, honest, every day.
- What is a gratitude partner?
- Someone you send your gratitude notes to on a regular basis. I send mine daily, but there's no strict rule - it's more about consistency than frequency.
- Does it have to be someone I know?
- Not at all. It may even be better if you don't. Writing to a friend can turn it into a conversation rather than a moment of reflection. Sending notes “into the ether” feels freeing.
- So what's the point of the other person?
- In one word: accountability. Part of the ritual is showing up for someone else, and that's what keeps the habit going, day after day.
- What should I write?
- Three short things you're grateful for today. Small things are perfect. Keep it brief, skip anything that needs lots of explanation, and don't worry about spelling.
Already have someone in mind?
A friend, colleague or family member can be a great partner too. Agree on how often you'll send, pick a time of day, and start tonight.
