\u201cIt is through gratitude for the present\u00a0<\/span>moment\u00a0that the spiritual dimension\u00a0<\/span>of life opens up.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/em>\u2014Eckhart Tolle<\/span><\/p>\n

Gratitude is uplifting, and journaling about gratitude is\u00a0even more empowering than just saying you\u2019re grateful.\u00a0The act of writing down what you\u2019re grateful for makes\u00a0you more closely consider the thing, the person, or the\u00a0event you\u2019re grateful for. This practice brings the energy\u00a0of gratitude inside your body and uplifts your spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Gratitude<\/a>In September of 2015 an article titled, \u201cNeural Correlates\u00a0of Gratitude,\u201d was published in Frontiers of Psychology<\/em>.\u00a0In this article, the authors wrote, \u201cIt has been established\u00a0that gratitude leads to benefits for both mental health and\u00a0interpersonal relationships.\u201d Based on these recent findings, now is the perfect\u00a0time to begin your journal of gratitude!<\/span><\/p>\n

I decided to create a journal layout for my own\u00a0personal use. There were several features I wanted my\u00a0journal to have. First, I wanted a way to be able to see\u00a0what I wrote a year ago on the very same day to compare\u00a0where I was at then to the present. While I did find some\u00a0five-year journals, the area to write in them was designed\u00a0for just a single line a day and I needed more space to\u00a0write, so I added this extra room to my journal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, I wanted a space where I could reflect on what I\u00a0had written in prior years. Often, looking back brings a\u00a0lot of important insights to mind, and, it is nice to have a\u00a0place to put them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, I wanted a way to avoid getting into \u201cgratitude\u00a0ruts\u201d (unknowingly repeating the same statements several\u00a0times) by creating prompts to help me think about\u00a0the less obvious things we all have to be grateful for\u00a0throughout the day. I also wanted a quick way to see if\u00a0I was stuck in a gratitude rut, so I came up with a set of\u00a0icons that can be used to help quickly measure if I was\u00a0finding the less obvious things to be grateful for each day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, I also wanted a visual prompt to remind me to be\u00a0grateful during the day and not just during the moments\u00a0I write each night. The stopwatch icon appears on each\u00a0daily entry page to prompt you to remember to be grateful\u00a0for a moment that occurred in your day. However, it\u00a0should also be used to remind you to be grateful in the\u00a0moment several times each day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once I completed the layout, I liked it so much I thought\u00a0I should share it with others. So that is how My Gratitude\u00a0Journal: 3\u00a0Years of Blessings<\/strong><\/em><\/a> was born.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to using this book to help us all remember\u00a0the many things we have to be grateful for at the end of\u00a0each day, I would like to challenge you to attempt several\u00a0times during the day to just be still and appreciate the\u00a0moment. This may be difficult to remember to do at first.\u00a0You may even need to set an alarm as a reminder.\u00a0I truly believe that while it is important to journal our\u00a0gratitude, practicing it in the moment is life changing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In gratitude,<\/span><\/p>\n
