Scientists have shown that people who recognize and take note of the positive aspects of their daily lives are happier, more productive and even live longer. See this study on happy nuns in Milwaukee or this study where scientists magically turned unlucky people into lucky people.

When you sign up for Momentary.org, we will send you 2-3 text messages a day, asking you to pause to recognize something positive about your day. And we'll store your responses in a private page for you, viewable on our site.

At any time you can turn off the messages by texting "off" back to us. Or you can log-in to your account and set your status to "inactive." And - whenever you want - we're more than happy to offer you a downloadable version of your journal.

We will never, ever share your personal information with anyone else, no matter how many times they try to bribe us with chocolate chip cookies. (But we encourage them to keep trying.)
