Fall is officially here and it will be Thanksgiving before you know it. Although Thanksgiving is a time to be grateful, we should be practicing gratitude every day. Just noting what you are grateful for each day can help boost your happiness and takes less than five minutes. There actually are several scientifically proven benefits of gratitude. Most people start by being grateful for the big things like having a roof over their head or spending time with loved ones. There is the small stuff too like breathing in the fresh air outside or a positive interaction you may have with a stranger. Too often, we all take the wonderful things in our lives for granted which is why I’ve made a list of journal prompts for gratitude to help us all stop and remember everything good in our lives.

    Such a great list! Even just writing a sentence a day is helpful; what you are grateful for about yourself and what someone did on that day to be grateful about.

    I’m a firm believer that people cross your path for a reason and I’m so glad you’re commented on one of my blogs and I was able to reciprocate. I really LOVE every one of these 30 suggestions for gratitude journaling. I’m in the process of creating a ‘Happiness Journal’ for a new opt-in for my website. Great job.
