Set aside 10-15 minutes each day. Choose one prompt that speaks to you. Write freely without judgment โ there are no wrong answers. The goal is to cultivate awareness of the good in your life, even during challenging times.
Think about a moment when you were fully yourself without pretense. Recall how that honesty felt and the connections it created.

A 2003 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showed that keeping a gratitude journal for just 10 weeks led to significantly higher well-being scores.
