Book excerpt: My Gratitude Journal is an invitation to count your blessings for a season, whether that season is literally a season on the calendar, or a particular period in your life. We can all benefit from counting our blessings, but there are some times in our lives when we need the boost of happy energy provided by a gratitude practice. If you love the idea of keeping a gratitude journal, but don't know where to start, this is the journal for you. You'll have guidance in the form of a quote to ponder or a prompt to brainstorm your way into the realm of gratitude. The introduction includes details of the many amazing benefits of writing in a gratitude journal on a regular basis. The physical, mental, and emotional advantages of maintaining a gratitude practice have been studied by scientists for many years. PHYSICAL BENEFITS include lower blood pressure, improved immune function, better sleep, and a reduction in aches and pains. MENTAL and EMOTIONAL BENEFITS include better coping skills, less stress, stronger relationships, increased confidence, creativity, optimism, productivity, resilience, mindfulness... and the list goes on. It sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? Hundreds of scientific studies on gratitude have verified these outcomes. The appendix includes links and book recommendations for those of you who would like to delve into the fascinating data. So why not give it a whirl? Treat yourself to a gratitude journal today. You won't regret it! This journal has three different kinds of spreads, so you can change up the way you keep track of your gratitude lists. PHASE 1 is called Thirty Days of Grateful Foundations. Each double page spread has a thought-provoking quote about what it means to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. There are also some flowers growing at the bottom of each page which are begging to be colored in. Get those coloring pencils ready! PHASE 2 is called Thirty Days of Envisioning Gratitude. Along with a quote encouraging you to visualize people and experiences to be grateful for, there is an elegant frame for any pictures or doodles that come to mind. You could paste in a photo or a magazine clipping that speaks to you. PHASE 3 is called Thirty Days of Grateful Brainstorming. Each spread is has an inspiring quote followed by a prompt to think of various ways you can act on your developing impulses to spread the wealth of gratitude. There is also a Gratitude Journaling Tips and Tricks section which showcases some best practices for those new to gratitude journaling: How often should you write in your journal? What do the scientific studies recommend? How can you fit your gratitude practice into your busy life? What kind of things will you write about? What gratitude entries are more powerful than others? This gratitude journal is undated, so you can write daily, or entirely at your own pace - with no blank pages staring at you to make you feel guilty! Feel free to open your journal at random and be inspired by the quote or prompt you find on the page. You'll find plenty of variety among the 90 spreads available for recording what you are grateful for in the midst of your busy days.
