The Exercise

Once you are a member, and when you are ready to start your gratitude challenge, you send us a text stating : start my gratitude challenge. From there, each day, in place of your normal Soc+ message, we send you a gratitude prompt. You should take a moment to think about the message that we send to you and reply back with a gratitude statement about the message you received.

Pro-Tip: You can specify for how long you want to take the gratitude challenge, for example : start a 7 day gratitude challenge.

Why

Writing down things for which you are grateful at least twice a week has been shown to reduce stress, increase happiness, and improve self-esteem.

Using Take 2 Minutes and our Gratitude Challenge, you can make a gratitude statement for up to 14 days in a row! You simply respond to the gratitude prompts we send to start your own Gratitude Journal.

We Make It Simple

The entire Gratitude Challenge is done via Text Messaging! You get a text with a challenge question and you simply respond with your gratitude statement. We will place the entire message into your gratitude journal. How Simple is that?

Sample Prompt


"Consider MUSIC, or even sounds and vibrations, and tell us about why you are grateful for MUSIC."


Possible Response


"I am grateful for music because music can effectively change my mood. Certain songs can make me happy or make me sad. I listen to music almost every day and always enjoy the artists work."
