Gratitude Journal Prompts to Shift Your Mindset

2 minute read

In this fast-paced world, nothing slows us down faster than gratitude.

Culture encourages us to crave more. But what if we instead did something radical and celebrated what we already have?

From TikTok trends to scientific studies, the benefits of gratitude journal prompts are inarguable.

Studies have shown that people who honored this practice weekly became more optimistic and had fewer health complaints to report than those who didn’t. Gratitude activates a part of the brain associated with habit-making, decisions, positivity, and empathy. So basically, if you practice seeing the good, the prefrontal cortex will build the habit of seeing it! 

This sacred practice is simple and wildly powerful.

Dive into the abundance of joy already surrounding you. The light in your life is begging to be seen. Light a candle. Say a prayer or set an intention. Open up to the goodness around you and be prepared to see just how good it can get!
