WHAT IS GRATITUDE?


Gratitude is the feeling of noticing and feeling thankful for the things that happen and what we have in our lives.  It happens when we stop taking things for granted and begin appreciating, even the little things, in a more mindful way.  Many people think when they start practicing Gratitude, they need to find big things to be grateful for every day, but that isn’t true.  It can be small things such as being in good health, having a place to sleep or even just waking up in a good mood.  When we take the time to notice the small things it begins to create a more positive, optimistic mindset that filters out into all areas of live.


Starting a Gratitude Practice can feel quite overwhelming for people when they first start but in reality, there is no right or wrong way, it’s about finding a method that works for you.  Having said that, when I started practicing several years ago I found using a Gratitude Journal a great way to start, which is why I have created a Free Gratitude Journal which you can download below.

WHY KEEP A GRATITUDE JOURNAL?


There are many benefits to keeping a gratitude journal. Some of the reasons why people choose to keep a gratitude journal include the following:

  • It helps to shift your focus to the positive aspects of your life. When you take the time to write down the things you are grateful for, it can help to reframe your perspective and focus on the good things in your life.
  • It can improve your mental health. Studies have shown that practicing gratitude can have a positive impact on mental health, including reducing feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression.
  • It can improve your physical health. Some research suggests that gratitude can have a positive impact on physical health, including improving sleep quality, reducing inflammation, and increasing feelings of well-being.
  • It can improve your relationships. Gratitude can help to foster feelings of appreciation and connection with others, which can improve your relationships and increase feelings of social support.
  • It can increase your happiness and well-being. By focusing on the things you are grateful for, you can increase your overall sense of happiness and well-being.

 

Overall, a gratitude journal can be a simple but powerful tool for cultivating a positive and grateful mindset, which can benefit your mental and physical health, relationships, and overall well-being.
