Feeling happy throughout the day is important. If you're not feeling moments of happiness regularly, you need to practice self-care.

Earthjoy is a free private journal where you can capture the things that you are grateful for in your life. We help you stick to this daily self-care practice by having you commit to donating to an environmental charity on days you forget to journal. This way, no matter what you do on a given day, you always have something to feel good about.

Researchers have found that two of the most common ways to feel happy are having a daily gratitude practice 
and committing yourself to a 
charitable cause. Earthjoy combines both of these to give you several ways to feel happy and care for yourself throughout the day.

The American Society of Training and Development found that if you have a specific accountability assignment, your chances of reaching your goal increase to 95%. By having you commit to donating to an environmental charity when you miss a journal entry, you are much more likely to stick to making self-care journaling a habit.

Still, on days that you do happen to miss your journal, your donations go towards helping the earth...That's a win-win.

Earthjoy partners with some of the best environmental charities around the world to provide you with a number of great causes to contribute to.

Whether it's cleaning the world's oceans or fighting to protect trees from deforestation, your donations from Earthjoy will be directly benefiting the world we live in.
