Introduction Task: Creating a gratitude journal
Taking time to acknowledge the positives in your life will make you feel happy every day.
“Gratitude is one of the biggest weapons against unhappiness and a gratitude journal is a good way to visualise and see your thoughts clearly,” explains Mo Gawdat, Rituals’ happiness ambassador. Here’s everything you need to know about how to write a gratitiude journal every day.
Dedicated space
Keep a specific book to write your gratitudes in and use it solely for that purpose - don’t start adding your shopping list! You can buy specially designed journals, but a regular notebook is fine.
Make it routine
“It’s really important to create a habit in your day, especially for gratitude. So choose a time - morning, your lunch break, the evening, or all three - and practice your gratitude at the same time every day,” advises Mo.
Reflect back
“Looking back at previous pages of your journal to see what you have been grateful for is a very valuable reminder. It’s also acts as a powerful manifestation, because when you observe what you have been grateful for you will get more of it,” says Mo.
Not just words
Your journal doesn’t have to be word based, use whatever helps you focus on gratitude. “I keep a folder of photographs that I’m grateful for on my phone: a moment where my daughter is smiling, my old car that’s still in good shape, a friend I have spent good times with. I swipe through that folder and it reminds me that life is ok,” explains Mo.
