Summer of Gratitude Challenge
by Intelligent Change
Summer is the time of another fresh start. Its days are filled with freedom and sunny joy. It’s when we are able to fully immerse ourselves in dolce far niente––the sweetness of doing nothing––and tap into the art of slow living and creative self-expression. Summer is experiencing the beauty and lightness of being. It’s rediscovering your youth. It’s breathing optimism. It’s about being grateful, cheerful, and full of energy.
Summer is all about noticing, documenting, and memorizing bright moments of unconditional happiness. And gratitude is the simplest way to build a foundation of joy in your life and preserve those sun-kissed, warm, positive memories for years to come.
With less work, special summer schedule, and extensive holidays, sunny days may invite you to relax and finally take a well-deserved break from your routines and self-discipline. For this reason, we are bringing you a big summer re-set with Intelligent Change. This season, we are launching the Summer of Gratitude challenge. With guidance from our team and community, we want to help you start building a life-changing habit of gratitude or keep up with your existing gratitude and self-awareness rituals.
How to enter
The Summer of Gratitude challenge starts on Tuesday, June 21st and ends on Wednesday, August 31st.
It is open internationally to Five Minute Journal and 5 Minute Journal App users.
