Are you worried all the time? Are you in a battle with negative thoughts? I understand the situation you are dealing with.

End your battle today by adopting a new habit, including a gratitude journal in your life.

What Gratitude Brings to You?

A breath of fresh air! A feeling of gratitude can change your life in a moment. It can give you a new outlook on ordinary routines, create a surge of optimism, make the people on your side more supportive, and even pave the way for happiness and fulfillment.

To be truly grateful and happy in life and realize and appreciate all we have and be thankful for it, we need to change our attitude towards life.

  • You will start noticing positive moments.
  • The frequency of negative thoughts will reduce.
  • You will understand the true meaning of “Being in the moment”.
  • Your perception of situations will change.

What to Write in a Gratitude Journal?

Make a note to write at least 5 things you are grateful for. Remember, having an opportunity to live a life and being able to achieve what you want also counts under this exercise.

  • I am grateful because…
  • Something good that I saw someone do.
  • My favorite part of the day.
  • Something I did well today.

Do not forget to treat yourself even if you achieve a small goal and make a note to write it in your gratitude journal. This will improve your confidence and increase the energy you give to every task.

If the only prayer you said in your whole life was “Thank You”, that would suffice-Meister Eckhart.

Do share your experience if you are already on a gratitude journey.
