Want to start a gratitude journal this year? Check out these gratitude journal prompts to get you started!
This post wasn’t really planned, and in fact, if you’re a regular here, you’re probably wondering at the weird timing of the post. But, hear me out!
Last night, I went to a yoga workshop with Melody Butler Yoga, and at the end, we all started a gratitude journal for the month of November. Of course, this is a practice I already have, so I just added to the journal I’ve already got.
Still, the practice got my wheels turning, and I thought back to when I first got started.
Early in my practice, it was hard to come up with something new to write about every day. A lot of my journaling got pretty redundant for awhile, before I got good at it.
Does that sound like your gratitude journaling? These journal prompts will help you get your gratitude practice started. Then, you can make gratitude a habit to last all year!
How to Start a Gratitude Journal I recommend a simple journaling process to begin with. You can do this practice in so many ways:
in a simple, spiral notebook in a section of your planner you can use a section of your war binder, like mine include it in your bullet journal or, you can buy a special journal just for your prompts Just remember, it’s the act of gratitude that is most important, not how fancy your journal is.
Once you’ve got a place to write, you just make time every day to write something you’re grateful for!
It can be something as simple as one line in your journal, or a full journal entry that goes on for pages. Mine vary in length depending on my mood and how much time I have.
