1 THE GRATITUDE ATTITUDE JOURNAL GUIDE If you want to find happiness, find gratitude -Steve Maraboli

2 WHAT IS GRATITUDE? This wonderful emotion defies easy classification. Gratitude, derived from the Latin word gratia (meaning grace, graciousness or gratefulness) eludes easy explanation by academics. Gratitude is the experience of counting one s blessings. It is the feeling that embodies the word Thank you. It is the unexpected reward of a kind deed that is magically produced by your brain. It s the cute, tingly feeling in your body that makes you smile at strangers. Why do scientists love gratitude? Even after cutting through the smoke of Law of Attraction-style belief systems, gratitude has shown to be quite transformative in humans. A recent study by Emmons and McCullough found that keeping a daily gratitude journal leads to a better sleep, reductions of physical pain, a greater sense of well being, and a better ability to handle change.

3 STARTING YOUR GRATITUDE ATTITUDE JOURNAL PREVENTING REPETITIVENESS The first week of adopting a gratitude practice may seem like sunshine and rainbows. You feel more positive. Good things start randomly happening. All is right with the world. And then it happens. Writing what you are grateful for each day starts getting repetitive. Gratitude becomes a chore. How many more ways can I say I am grateful for Mum? How many more ways can I appreciate the weather? These experiences are bound to happen. The following is how you can keep your gratitude practice fresh for years to come.

4 Get Specific The more detailed you get with gratitude, the more impactful it will be. Saying I am grateful for Mum is nice IF you connect with the feeling behind it. But it can quickly feel repetitive saying this for several weeks in a row. Sorry Mum! To remedy this, pick something specific like, I am grateful for my Mum s laugh or, I am grateful for Mum coming to visit me. You want enough detail so you can VISUALIZE the gratitude and FEEL it. This is key. Use Negative Visualization Odds are you have (or are considering) a gratitude practice in the first place is because you find it easy to be a critic rather than a celebrator. Most people do. In psychology, they call this the Negativity bias. Now is the time to use this to your advantage. Instead of visualising all the good in your life, imagine it was all taken away. Goodbye puppy (I wish I had a puppy). Goodbye good health. Goodbye dream job. Kind of scary, isn t it? Although this exercise can be hard it can be one of the most powerful.

5 Use Gratitude Categories For all you planners out there, you ll love this one. Instead of trying to randomly think of something you re grateful for each day, you ll add a bit of structure. It s simple. Pick a gratitude category for each day of the week. It could look like this: Monday = gratitude for relationships in your life. Tuesday = gratitude for family. Wednesday = gratitude about things you like about yourself. Thursday = gratitude about things you own. Friday = gratitude about the World. Saturday = gratitude about friends. Sunday = gratitude about your work. Pick a few categories. Pick a different category each day. Do what your heart desires. Using planned spontaneity can be an effective ally.

6 BONUS: Share your gratitude with others Although on the surface this seems simple, telling others how awesome they are can feel weird. Will they think I have an agenda? Will they think I m weird? They probably already know how I feel? Gratitude is all about the emotion. If you just intellectually THINK about gratitude without feeling, you are receiving little psychological boost. Sharing your gratitude with others can take the emotion to the next level.
