Again, here is how to create your gratitude journal.
What is your answer to the following, Today I am grateful for?
Do you already keep a gratitude journal? Or do you incorporate one into your current journaling or diary?
If you do not already keep one, I would consider starting, because keeping a gratitude journal is one of the most effective journaling tools that you can give to yourself. It is the time and the place, where every day, you consider and then record what it is you are grateful for and happy about. It is the place and the time where you record what is in your life, rather than what is not.
You can start keeping a gratitude journal, where you date and write in daily, weekly, ormonthly, what you are grateful for. You can even include why and the circumstances that created the gratitude. This becomes a story and record of your feelings and warm experiences of what you have given, and also what you have received.
You can use a notebook, a blank journal or even your existing journal, to start your gratitude journal in. Use one color of pen, or pick several different colors to journal with. You can express your feelings with certain colors, green for a growth memory, blue for peaceful times, you decide what each color means and note that in the front of the journal. To journal what you are grateful for that day, start by writing, Today, I am grateful for, and go from there. This journal becomes a treasured keepsake and a priceless gift that you give to your self.
