Gratitude Journal JOURNAL LIFE'S JOURNEY is a series of books to bring respite, peace and calm as you journal your way through life's day-to-day experiences. The Gratitude Journal is designed to record positive thoughts before or at the end of your day. What matters is that you write in it regularly - and keep it somewhere you can review it, whenever you want to. The best way to cultivate an attitude of gratitude is to write your thoughts down. Studies have shown the benefits of writing down the things for which we're grateful include more happiness, better sleep, less stress, and fewer illnesses. The Gratitude Journal can also help reframe a difficult situation by looking at the redemptive path your circumstances may take you on. Positive change can come from focusing on gratitude. The best time to start a gratitude journal is now. It will be the greatest use of a few minutes a day.
