Just to preface this, as part of my journey to be better, i have gone down quite the rabbit hole of gratitude.


On suggestion on being better at gratitude is to have a gratitude journal, wherein you keep a list of things you're grateful for.

I'm not quite sure if ill be able to get the recommended 5 new things each day, so maybe ill keep it to every 2 days?

I found a few good prompts also:

  1. What's something you're grateful to have today that you didn't have a year ago?
  2. What is a failure or mistake in your life for which you're grateful?
  3. Write about a tradition for which you're grateful

  4. Open your phone and describe a photo you like

  5. Write a list of 10 things you love about yourself

  6. One of the best experiences in my life was...

  7. Write about a pet and what makes them special

  8. Write about a hobby

  9. Write about a success you had (and who helped you)

  10. Describe your favorite moment of each part of the day
