I read back on it and remember so many beautiful moments in the first year I had with my baby. Instead of focusing on the tough days, I focused on the special moments within even those hard days.

    Thank you! I personally think this is works best when you try to give more slack to yourself. I write at least twice a week, when I'm feeling at peace I write gratitude journal. But when I feel negative emotions, I just write it on the other book because I feel like I need to let my anger and frustration out as well. After few weeks you can reflect on both books and it's been really helpful for me to understand my emotions. Good luck and sending best wishes to everyone 🍀

    When I did gratitude journalling I wrote down very basic things like food and electricity. However I didn’t feel better. Maybe what I wrote was too shallow, things I ‘should’ be grateful for. I can’t really think beyond that. When I told my therapist what I wrote she was like did you write anything profound, and I was like what kind of example. I just came across as so dead inside

    think about the people you’re grateful for, like your therapist, friends, parents, even pets, or a kind customer who tipped you or a teacher who always believed in you or etc. think about special moments that you’re grateful for, it could be a day in the park or a birthday where you got a sentimental gift or even a date that made you happy and feel loved. look beyond the ordinary, and focus on the things that made you feel grateful/happy. life is a rollercoaster full of ups and downs, but remember the ups and write about them so you dont take them for granted. i hope this helps.

    I'm just coming out of a feeling dead inside decade long crisis. My heart could not feel gratitude for seriously anything. I don't know if this helps, but I had to start with saying "May my heart that wishes to feel gratitude know that it's okay that it can't". "I am grateful for taking the time to honor what my heart has the capacity to feel today."

    I highly recommend Atomic Habits by James Clear. Here are the parallels from the book to this video: "Step 1 Pick a journal" is environment design: setting up environmental cues to make a habit more obvious. "Step 2 Choose 3 days a week" is the implementation strategy: choose a date and a time where you will perform the habit to reduce friction. "Step 3 Find a quiet place" is the "one space one use" principle: to get a habit to stick, do it somewhere you do nothing but that habit. Steps 4 and 5 are specific to gratitude journaling.

    I don't keep a gratitude journal because it's hard for me to feel any kind of gratitude. I can't write something to be grateful for without adding something negative like... "I'm thankful for being single... because I'm too ugly and unwanted" or "I'm thankful for my own home... that comes with mortgage debt". It's pretty much true and I don't want to lie to myself. 😂😅

    I’m curious what your thoughts are on repeating items over time. I don’t intend to come off negatively and I do have a lot to be grateful for, but 60 things per month will pile up quickly. Is there a strategy or suggestion for dealing with running out of new things? If things come to mind regularly, is that just an indication that gratitude for those things are stronger and can/should be revisited or would you recommend trying to avoid repeats? Thanks so much for the easy guide.

    I think our culture tends to equate more with better. With gratitude, I don't think it's necessary to constantly find newness. The idea I bring up is to *feel* the gratitude, rather than just list what brings you gratitude. Settling into the feeling that the things bring is what prompts the body to live in that grateful state. That way, if the things leave, our feeling of gratitude doesn't leave with them.

    I find a habit isn’t a habit I’ll keep unless it’s everyday. Sometimes doing less while keeping the habit works (like going for a run 3 times a week but going for a walk on the other days so I have to keep the habit of going out to exercise) but once I miss a day it doesn’t matter if it’s marked on a calendar. The habit is gone. I’ll start ignoring it. I guess everyone has to find what works for them though.

    Great question! The core things you're grateful for may be the same, and what can change to keep it fresh is when you talk about "why" you're grateful for it. I also think it's always nice to stretch yourself to think of new things you're grateful for, too. But really, there's no wrong way to do this when the intention is true. 🙏🏻
