What Do You Write In A Gratitude Journal

Why you should keep a gratitude journal?

It can help improve your self-esteem. Keeping a journal is a very personal activity and allows you to be present with your own achievements and remember all the good things in your life.

Showing gratitude has been proven to reduce social comparisons, and by expressing what you are thankful for, you are less likely to be resentful towards others.

Gratitude Journaling is seriously one of the best habits you can choose to take up this year!

How often should you write in a gratitude journal?

In your gratitude journal, consider writing about the blessings in your life, moments where you’ve seen God’s hand at work, feelings of thankfulness for your relationships and experiences, and reflections on scripture that resonate with your current circumstances.
