Tips for Effective Gratitude Journaling
- Be Specific: Instead of writing "I'm grateful for my family," try "I'm grateful for the way my sister made me laugh today." Specificity deepens the emotion.
- Focus on "Why": Ask yourself why you are grateful for that thing. This adds depth to your practice.
- Feel It: Don't just go through the motions. Take a moment to truly feel the appreciation in your body.
- Consistency is Key: Try to write at the same time every day, perhaps first thing in the morning or right before bed.
