#GratitudeAppsThatRock

Well, Well, Well... It's February, but can we all agree that January felt like it was 88 days long!? So long, I'd believe you if you told me it was May! Lol.. One of my big 2019 Intentions (we don't do resolutions around here) was to build a SOLID foundation of gratitude as the base of every move I made this year. I knew if I just created some great habits right out the gate - I'd be able to make big strides towards this goal! So I knew I had to incorporate the thing I am on most - my smartphone. I did a TON of research, and tried like 8 different apps, these 3 were the ones I LOVED right off the bat!

1. Reflectly Got 5 minutes of spare time to answer simple questions that help spark gratitude? Reflectly is the PERFECT app for you! Think of it as a little journal you scribe your thoughts into before bed, as a really cool reflection of the day - its that simple. Share the gratitude for 5 consecutive days and win cute awards. It's low maintenance and you don't have to worry about being bombarded with notifications. I'm on day 22 and it's totally a nightly habit that I love! Every day you journal becomes a cute page in your book, and you can even export them to create something tangible if you wish! Totally a 5/5 stars for this easy little powerhouse of an app form me!

2. ThreeThanks This app is GENIUS on so many levels, and the name says its all. Make a habit of giving thanks for 3 things a day! The app has the cutest graphics, when you start your day the theme is gloomy and rainy - as you share your 3 thanks, the Sun pops up and birdies sing - very much like what sharing thanks does for your soul in real life! It's seriously the cutest app ever and its really user friendly. I find myself really looking to adding to this app daily, just to see that Sun pop up and brighten my screen! And don't worry about sharing deep profound novel-long sentiments... There's a 200 character cap, so short and sweet thanks is the whole theme of this app! This app is equipped with notifications, but they are super cute and not pushy at all, So far I'm loving everything about how this little app makes me feel!

3. Fabulous If you are looking to really jump into the deep end of game changing Gratitude habits - this app is EPIC! I mean, you get an ENTIRE team dedicated to you. I haven't seen an app that is this in-person focused in... EVER! And it starts out simple, taking baby steps to get you in the habit of tweaking small things about your daily schedule like, drinking water before bed and first thing in the AM... Stick to that for 3 days and you promote to the next level of habit-making. The whole time you are given articles and research that back up every move you make and I LOVE RESEARCH so this was like a song to my heart! I'm on day 33 and I've got everything from bed making, flossing, meditating, checking in on a new friend every day, journaling and intermittent fasting all locked into my day without even dreading them! There are 20 different timed meditation exercises, all sorts of nature sounds audio for power naps, I mean it is AMAZING! I also love the fact that I can create AM and PM habits, and every time I complete one I get to check it off - and I love checking shit off!! As we speak, I'm about to start the "power Of My Purpose" task, which is a series of sounds and prompts - with really profound questions that get your purpose driven wheels turning! The app does cost money, but they have a 7-day free trial so check it out and as always, let me know what you think! CM :)
