A gratitude journal is a powerful tool for managing your mindset.
It’s easy to forget that there is good all around us. Whether you dealing with a rough patch in life or an overloaded schedule, it’s easy to get so bogged down in the bad around us, that we overlook the good.
Gratitude is Good
Keeping a daily gratitude journal allows us to reconnect with the good things in life.
Here’s why I think happens when we focus on the good around us:
When we focus on the positives in our life, our focus pushes aside the negatives. The negatives don’t go away, but we get a mental break from thinking about them. And while that’s happening, our brain soaks up the good vibes created by gratitude.
The bottom line is this:
Shifting your focus away from the negative to something positive makes you feel better.
That’s why gratitude makes such a big difference in your quality of life.
Being truly grateful for what you have changes how you feel in the moment, and regularly practicing gratitude changes your life.
There’s something special that happens when you write your thoughts down. In a way, writing makes your thoughts real. It gives them a physical presence, a realness, that doesn’t exist when they stay locked up in your mind.
A gratitude journal unlocks those thoughts and gives you a place to gather and keep them.
