Gratitude Journaling to Change Your World! 🌎✨
Share
Seriously! Have you ever looked into the benefits of gratitude journaling?!
According to the American Psychological Association, gratitude is defined as “a sense of thankfulness and happiness in response to receiving a gift, either a tangible benefit (e.g., a present, favor) given by someone OR a fortunate happenstance (e.g., a beautiful day).” (emphasis mine)
The feeling of gratitude gets supercharged when you take action! By writing your grateful thoughts in a journal (or even jotting them in a card to someone special), you interrupt negative thought patterns and reroute your mind—and body—toward a more positive, peaceful state.
The result? A happier, healthier you. It’s like FREE healthcare for your soul!
But don’t just take my word for it—there’s real science behind it. Check out the resources below to explore how gratitude journaling can literally change your brain, improve your relationships, and boost your overall well-being. I’ve even included a few guides to help you get started with your own gratitude journal.
And PS… one thing I’m grateful for today is YOU!💜
