5 Important Benefits of a Gratitude Journal
When you feel trapped, frustrated, or confused try looking at life in a new perspective. Gain a new point of view when you live in gratitude. How do you live in gratitude? Simply put, living in gratitude means you choose to focus on the things you are grateful for. A gratitude journal helps narrow your focus by creating a self-care activity where you list, or define, what you are thankful for. Here are 5 important benefits of a gratitude journal that will help you appreciate the life you’ve created.
1. Release
The unneeded thoughts, and negative energy, is released without any effort when you use your gratitude journal. When you list what you are grateful for, your energy narrows to focus on what you find meaningful and releases the pseudo importance of the things that once distracted you.
2. Revive
As we go through life, what we find meaningful and fulfilling can be buried under life obligations. A gratitude journal helps rekindle the love we have for someone, activities, or interests that we thought were lost.
3. Reflect
Sometimes it’s hard to reflect, or even journal, because we don’t know where to start. Writing in your gratitude journal is a positive point that will lead you to internal reflection. List your accomplishments, efforts, and learning lessons to start your self-reflection.
4. Reconnect
Amongst the distractions, what better way to reconnect with yourself than to write out the personal characteristics you are thankful for. Learn what, or who, you need reconnection with through a quick gratitude journal session.
5. Rejoice
Enjoy the life you made. Use gratitude journals to celebrate the wins you’ve earned throughout life with this newfound perspective. Embrace the joy you feel during your gratitude journal session as you write out what you are thankful for.
A piece of paper, a notes app, or your favorite Soulwork Journal are some of the many ways you can start your gratitude journal sessions and gain a new outlook on your beautifully curated life.
