Start a thankfulness journal

I have written many times about the importance of appreciation and gratefulness . I have also written at other places about the importance of writing things down and journaling.

Here, I suggest you start a gratitude list in your success journal. This portion of your success journal may be called your thankfulness journal. What you do is that each morning for at least thirty days and then at least once a month, take ten minutes and make a list of things you are thankful for.

Write it on paper with pen or pencil (it’s different than writing it on you computer where you might tempted to take short cuts). Write each sentence thus:

"I’m thankful for XXXXX…."
Where XXXXX is a person, thing, situation (like your health), a person’s quality (could be your own quality), or anything else you are thankful for.
Only write things that you are thankful for in the here and now. No one else will see your list so don’t write down things that you think you should be thankful for but you are not at this moment in time. It may occur on your list tomorrow – you never know.

What happens is that the next day’s list may contain a lot of the same things and some different things. Don’t censor yourself or feel obliged to be grateful for something because you appreciated it yesterday. Allow each day’s list to be anew.

Then last thing at night read you gratitude list and appreciate what you have written and perhaps the events of the day have given you more reasons to be thankful and add those to the day’s list.

When you feel down you may open your thankfulness journal at a random place and read a page. You will feel much better it’s guaranteed.
