Thanks for being here! 😄 🌱

(Estimated read time: 2 minutes)

Firstly, thank you so much for being here.

I genuinely appreciate every single person who opens and reads these emails.

Within all the content creation I’m doing at the moment, the newsletter is still my baby.

In a world of 6-second videos and doomscrolling, it takes a particular type of person to open and read an email.

So again, thank you.

Anyways, enough of that soppy s$%t, let’s get into it.

I have written about gratitude before, and it remains massively important to me.

So I'm going to give the easiest way to practice gratitude.

You don’t need a journal.

You don’t need 20 minutes of self-reflection.

You don’t even need to feel super grateful.

All you need is your phone and one quiet moment in bed.

Open your Notes app and write down 3 good things that happened today.

That’s it.

This could be anything, literally anything.

The wins don’t have to be life-changing.

They just have to be real.

Your brain takes care of the rest.

Now for the nerdy stuff.

Here’s what’s happening when you do this consistently:

I appreciate that people may not be as interested in science as a nerd like myself is, but it’s data-driven evidence that supports the claims I am making.

It is also the only reason I have built these habits myself, and why I am spreading the word.

From personal experience, gratitude is one of the best feelings you can experience.

And I am so far from a woke journaling hippie.

Low effort, high impact.

What we all want.

That’s all for this week! Any questions?

I answer all DMs on my socials, or reply to this email! 📨

See you next week,

Hugo.
