80 Gratitude Journal Prompts For A Grateful Life

Gratitude is a simple way to shift your mindset in a positive direction. Being grateful opens up infinite doors for joy to flow into your life.

Gratitude takes your mind to a whole new level on self-love, self-acceptance, healing, personal growth, self-esteem, and self-discovery.

And the most effective way to maintain a grateful heart is by keeping a gratitude journal.

I know starting to practice journaling can be tough, you’ll stare at your blank notebook and seem as if you’ve been hit with writer’s block syndrome.

Well, it happens, knowing how to begin can take a lot of practice, and that’s where you’ll need these prompts.

The list is long and varied, but in the end, one out of the many questions will speak to you. Or it will lead you to have a different question about what matters to you. That’s fine, too.

These prompts will inspire you to develop a habit of gratitude journaling, and effectively, so much so that you’ll be looking at life with a big lens of gratitude.

Here are journaling prompts to guide you on the daily art of gratitude;
