How to Use These Prompts
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.
Before your next meal, pause and consider where your food came from and all the hands that brought it to your plate.
The Science of Gratitude
Research by Dr. Robert Emmons at UC Davis found that people who regularly practice gratitude experience stronger immune systems, lower blood pressure, more joy, and greater generosity. 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.
