Happy New year to all my followers. This is my first post in 2017 so want to make it special one in my life . As it’s the beginning of a new year we all come up with new aims and resolutions . This year I started something nice , it’s a Gratitude Journal for myself . It’s a simple diary where I can note down all the happy things which I do daily . It’s been a week since I started and whenever i read it, it gives a lot of positive feeling .
It is simple to create :-
- Maintain a diary ( digital or manual) for writing down a certain number of things you are thankful for the day .
- Write it down everyday before going to bed .
- If it’s digital journal make sure to add some photos of the day.
- When ever you are feeling low or stressed just go through all the happy memories you created in your life .
Maintaining the journal motivates us to do much better in life daily .It makes us realize that joy can be found in small things we do everyday .
So if you haven’t started to maintain this journal, try for a month & let me know how your life has changed.
Linking it to Monday Musings at EverydayGyan & MicroblogMondays
This year I’ve been writing down three thankful thoughts at the end of each day. Some days it’s harder than others but I really like the practice of finding joy in the ordinary and being grateful for the little things.

I like to find gratitude, but have never done a gratitude journal. You might be motivating me to try. Maybe a weekly blog post …

I keep a bullet journal, which sometimes has moments of gratitude slip in, but it’s more a mishmash of everything.

Happy New Year. I use Evernote and Gratitude has been around in my life for over 1.5 years. I started penning my monthly lists and never looked back. It’s an amazing thing and I am glad you are joining too.

I started a gratitude journal at the beginning of January – I’m already forgetting to update it and having to go back and remember what was good about the day or so before. I need to get more intentional about it for it to work for a whole year!
