Michael war Dankbarkeitstagebüchern gegenüber immer skeptisch und tat sie als Trend ab. Doch nach einer besonders stressigen Woche bei der Arbeit beschloss er, es zu versuchen. Am ersten Tag fiel ihm nichts wirklich Großes ein, also blieb er bei einfachen Dingen: eine warme Tasse Kaffee, sein gemütliches Bett und eine Nachricht von einem Freund. Am dritten Tag merkte er, dass er im Laufe des Tages **die guten Dinge öfter wahrnahm**. Nach einer Woche stellte Michael fest, dass sein Stresslevel spürbar gesunken war. Die tägliche Gewohnheit half ihm, den Fokus weg von Frust und hin zu Wertschätzung zu lenken. Heute startet er jeden Morgen damit, drei Dinge aufzuschreiben, für die er dankbar ist. Selbst an harten Tagen erinnert es ihn daran, dass es immer etwas Gutes gibt, worauf man sich konzentrieren kann.
