This Is Gratitude: Activities to Help You See the Good That’s All Around You

Through thoughtfully crafted prompts that can be completed in just a few minutes, this guided journal makes the practice of gratitude feel approachable, personal, and meaningful—whether you’re new to journaling or returning to it.

This guided journal is filled with invitations to take a look around you and notice what is already there. Its thoughtful prompts only take a few minutes to complete and offer opportunities to reflect on everyday wonders. You’ll discover new ways to appreciate who you are, honor where you’ve been, and dream of what is ahead.

Organized prompts help you explore gratitude in six categories: yourself, others, everyday things, big things, what’s been, and what’s to come. You’ll create simple lists, fill in reflective prompts, and expand on ideas that help you recognize growth, honor your experiences, and imagine what lies ahead with intention.

Let the journal help you define gratitude in ways that are personally meaningful with simple prompts, such as:

• Little treats, time to rest, a brand-new box of tea… this is a list of small ways to show appreciation for myself.
• I want to offer my younger self deep appreciation for their perseverance in _____.
• This is a list of people I know—friends, family, neighbors, coworkers—whose existence matters deeply to me.

Whether used as a daily ritual or picked up whenever you need a reset, this journal becomes a meaningful space to notice what’s good—and to hold onto it.
