1 Year of Gratitude Journal

Gratitude journals tend to fail in week three, when "three good things" starts to feel like homework. This one asks for less: one small thing a day, and one longer prompt a week.

The daily page has a line for the month, day and date and room for a single thing you were grateful for. The weekly prompts go deeper, from a kindness someone showed you to a past challenge you are now glad of.

What's inside

• A daily page for one small thing you're grateful for
• 52 journal prompts, one for each week, such as "What is a challenge you faced in the past that you are now grateful for?"
• Twelve reframing statements, each paired with the belief it counters, such as "I am a failure"
• Gratitude ideas for spring, summer, autumn and winter

The twelve statements are the part I'd use first. Each one names an unhelpful belief and offers a grateful counter to it, which is a more honest way in than being told to feel thankful.

A couple of limits. The weekly prompts are gentle and fairly similar to one another, so this suits someone wanting a light, steady habit rather than deep reflection. A few prompts assume a spiritual or religious practice. And gratitude won't mend a hard year on its own; if the year is going badly, write that down too.
