3. My Gratitude Journal
Gratitude makes people
happier. There are a lot of
things to be grateful for,
and there are a lot of ways
to practice being grateful.
One of the best amongst
these is journaling.
My Gratitude Journal takes journaling to a more
advanced level. While some people may enjoy
the traditional pen-and-paper method, there are
those who would probably prefer to have a diary
on their tablets or smartphones.
To use the app, you need to download it and then
create an account through Facebook, Twitter, or
an email account. For your first journal entry, you
have to upload a photo, type a description of the
things you are grateful for, and then add your
location.
Every day, you keep track of five things you are
grateful for. You will be sent notifications and
rewards so you can develop the journaling habit.
Likewise, you may set daily reminders, search for
inspirational quotes, and revisit your past entries
through the app.
Note, however, that the app is only available
for iOS users. The company behind it has yet to
develop an Android version.
4. Headspace
Headspace explains its
purpose in its very short yet
sincere tagline: “Your guide
to health and happiness.”
It aims to help you live
a healthier, more rested,
and happier life with its
mindfulness meditation
and exercise guides.

happiness app has three main goals:

• Reduce your daily stress and anxiety.
• Help you stay focused and drive away
distractions.
• Increase your compassion toward other
people.
The Headspace app offers a variety of meditation
guides—from basic to advanced—for the
different aspects of your life. These include sleep,
work, happiness, and a lot more. If you feel like
you’re about to get burned out, the app has you
covered—it has a meditation guide for that, too!
Overall, this happiness and meditation app
teaches you how to breathe properly, meditate
mindfully, and live your life fully. In addition to
meditation guidelines, it also has exercise plans
that can help you manage your stress, regularize
your breathing, and generally make your life
happy.
Even if you do not know how to meditate, the
app can help you learn to do so. It offers courses
that teach meditation, breathing techniques, and
even better sleep quality and personal growth.
5. MoodKit
MoodKit was designed
and developed by two
clinical psychologists: Dr.
Drew Erhardt and Dr. Edrick
Dorian (the same creators
as Moodnotes). It adheres
to the principles and
techniques of cognitive-
behavioral therapy, which is considered to be one
of the most effective methods of psychotherapy.
MoodKit is an app that allows you to track your
mood and then assess it through journaling.
It is like having your own cognitive-behavioral
psychologist in your pocket.
Through this app, you can rate and record your
mood throughout the day. Likewise, you can
