1-Minuten-Habit für 3. Juli
Thank an inanimate object (e.g., 'Thanks, chair!')
Warum dieses Habit hilft
Gratitude expands when we recognize how everyday objects support us—this shifts perspective from 'things' to 'helpers'.
Neuroscience shows anthropomorphizing objects increases care for our environment and satisfaction.

Kurz erklärt
Japanese culture has a tradition called 'tsukumogami'—believing long-used objects develop spirits. While not literal, this mindset fosters respect for our tools.
Thanking objects is a Western-friendly way to tap into this mindful appreciation.
Was dahinter steckt
So kannst du sofort starten
- Pick one object you use daily (e.g., laptop, coffee mug, bed).
- Say or think: 'Thanks for [specific service]' (e.g., 'Thanks, lamp, for lighting my work').

💬 Deine Erfolgsgeschichten
I started thanking my toaster every morning as a joke, but it surprisingly made me appreciate how many objects quietly serve me. Now my apartment feels like a team of helpers rather than just 'stuff'.
