30 Journal Prompts for Gratitude

I've put together 30 Journal Prompts for Gratitude to encourage you to pause, truly admire and become aware of all the positives in your life already. Celebrate and honour where you are, what you have and all that surrounds you. Sometimes we're caught up in the busy circle of life forgetting to pause and acknowledge the little details, but by doing so we open our hearts and our daily lives to experience pure happiness, joy and thankfulness. Whether you use one journal prompt a day for a month, or answer all of them in a day, it's completely up to you. I'm simply excited you'll be practicing gratitude. Happy Journaling!

WHAT ARE JOURNAL PROMPTS?

Journal prompts are guided questions to encourage exploring new topics and reflection. Guided questions sometimes vary by specific topics such as healing, self-love or self-discovery, and in this care, gratitude. So, whether you're pursuing personal growth or development in a specific area, positivity, mindfulness or would simply enjoy writing suggestions, then journal prompts are for you! Feel free to check out our collection of prompted journals.

BENEFITS OF JOURNAL PROMPTS

Guided journal prompts are beneficial to those who want to write in a journal but aren't sure what to write about. And, they're also a great way for daily journal writers to switch it up and add something new to their journal. Maybe you're getting bored of always writing the same things in your journal and want to get creative! Here are a few benefits of journal prompts:

• Helps guide what to write about

• Offers reflection

• Takes the guess work out of writing

• New and creative entries in your journal

• Faster! If you're in a time crunch but want to write, you can simple answer one question a day
