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.
Consider what season of life you are in right now. Rather than wishing for another stage, find the unique blessings in this one.
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.
