I bought a new journal recently, one specifically for gratitude and I plan to start it this month. As a perfectionist, I tend to focus on what could be better and forget to be grateful for what is. I'm hoping this journal will help me there.
While I could have used any of my blank notebooks or journals, I wanted one that helped me out and went searching for a dedicated gratitude journal.
One stood out. Gratitude: A Day and Night Reflection Journal from Inner World
With the caveat that I haven't actually started my journaling yet, here are my thoughts.
The journal has prompts for morning and evening. They're labeled Morning Meditation and Evening Reflection and are on pages that face each other. There are check boxes and places to make notes for the prompts.
The pictures are of my own book and cards, so I'll apologize for my less than stellar photography skills.
The prompts are the same every day. I'm not sure what I think about this yet. I'm sure an opinion will form after I use it for a while. On the one hand, having the same prompts every day helps focus my thoughts and it allows me to compare data from day to day. On the other hand, it might be nice to shake things up with a different set of prompts every day.
While I was looking at the journal, I discovered the same company made a deck of cards. Gratitude: Inspirational Card Deck and Guide Book by Inner World.
I have used the cards and I like the prompts written on them. The cards themselves seem to be of good quality (with the caveat that I haven't had them too long). The only issue I have with them is the size. I have smaller hands and I found it difficult to shuffle them. To compensate, I put them on the couch and mixed them up that way before gathering them up again and drawing one.
Gratitude seems like a good way to slow down, too. To let some of stress go. At least I'm hoping it has this additional benefit. I'm going to start soon and will post an update if needed.
