I chose this because I've come to realize that I really focus on what I don't have, so now I want to focus on what I do have. I want to practice this because I want to change my way of thinking. I will learn to enjoy small moments/wins in my life and just focus on the negative moments, and I'm expecting that this can help improve my chronic pain. I will engage in this once or twice a week, track my activities in my gratitude journal, and include images of myself in my blogs. I can't practice this because I believe my mental health will improve.
I've been tracking everything I've done since starting this gratitude journey. My success has come from socializing with my friends, family, and my dogs. The effect of me socially has made me grateful for the people I have in my life and how much I actually want to spend time with them. The struggles that happened when I was focusing on the negative moments in my life, which for a while made me forget the great moments in my life. If I could redo this project, I would do what John mentioned in his blog, taking walks, because I feel time for yourself is very important for your mental health. I also enjoyed reading Pablo's journey of exercise and how it does wonders for your mental health, which has inspired me to try exercising again. What I learned about blogging is it helps keep track of your goals and allows you to see the progress you’ve made.

Gratitude is a great choice–the way you talk about focusing on what you DO have–and I also like your choice of visuals!
