The Gratitude Visit™ exercise is a powerful tool for increasing life satisfaction because it amplifies good memories about the past, and it forges a very strong bond with an important person from your past. The goal of this exercise is for you to experience the power of expressing your gratitude to someone who has touched your life.

Three Blessings™ is designed to increase your life satisfaction and to sweeten your memories about the past. It has been determined in well designed research studies that becoming much more conscious of good events reliably increases happiness and decreases depression.
