Benefits of Writing a Gratitude Journal | How To Change Your Attitude

Hello! My tribe!

When was the last time you sat down and really thought about the good things in life? In our day to day busy schedules, we really forget to count the blessings we already have that have kept us smiling and moving forward. But with a gratitude journal, it can all be just a cake walk! A gratitude journal is a diary you write every day in which you can express all the things that you are grateful for. If you take just five to ten minutes per day reflecting on what’s beautiful in life and write it down, you’ll find the benefits reach far into other areas of your life. I have been practicing this for years, and in my experience, it has a huge list of benefits. I have noticed very prominent changes over years in my general attitude towards everything in life ever since I have started writing gratitude journal.

Here are some of the benefits that I am going to share with you today and also tell you how to write a gratitude journal:

How to write a gratitude journal

Be thankful!
Being thankful is an attitude that should be cultivated and practiced. Developing a habit of gratitude will not only keep you motivated to write a gratitude journal every day, but it will also lead to a peaceful sleep when you hit the bed. Feeling thankful for the things you are blessed with will make you feel more confident and good about yourself and make you feel satisfied for the blessings you have.

Write about extended material things in your life.
These things are person specific and depend on your personal interests. For example, if you are fond of music and have your favourite things, or if you love to paint and have your paints. Being grateful about these things will grow their presence in your life.

Think about your abilities.
This is the first thing you should do when you want to practice gratefulness. The very fact that you are alive and breathing is such a big blessing. Start writing about how grateful you are for your body, for your health, for the eyes that help you see, for the ears that help you to listen and for every small cell in your body that is functioning perfectly. These are the small yet huge blessings that we have but we fail to recognise them. Just imagine, if breathing wasn’t effortless, how difficult life would be?! So start by being grateful for being alive!

So this was all about how you can write a gratitude journal and how it can help you become more powerful with each passing day. So grow on and discover the neglected blessings of life. You are already blessed and successful, all you need to do is realize it.

Do you gratitude journal? If yes! Share your experience with me and my tribe!

Love and Health
