Suki Waterhouse and Poppy Jamie, best friends for over a decade, found solace in sending gratitude lists to each other via WhatsApp, which reinforced their connection amid busy schedules. Realizing the positive impact of this practice, they developed the With Gratitude app, enabling users to maintain a gratitude practice with ease. Research indicates that documenting gratitude boosts emotional well-being, addressing stress and depression. The app encourages users to share their positive experiences, fostering a communal bond of support and positivity, making gratitude a contagious habit that benefits both sender and receiver.
Practicing gratitude isn't anything new, and it's certainly not as woo-woo as it sounds - in fact, jotting down a thank-you note to the universe is scientifically proven to show a "significant improvement in perceived stress and depression."
I could be having the worst day ever, but a friend will send me her list and I'll go, 'Oh my God, I can be grateful for that too,' says Jamie. The fact that you do it with a friend, you actually bother to keep going.
