Gratitude is where every positive attitude starts.

Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy

Ways I Can Show Gratitude to Myself and Others

Its important to show others we appreciate and care about them, but its equally important to acknowledge ourselves and all we do. List the ways you can do so, and challenge yourself to do one from each list every day.

Difficult Challenges That I Pushed Through (and What I Learned)

You have been through a lot. Pushed yourself, faced difficult situations, overcome challengesall of it. List those moments and look back every now and then to acknowledge your journey and appreciate how far youve come.

Lately, Ive Been Feeling

Your state of mind changes over time and through the seasons. Record how you are feeling right now. What is going through your mind? Are you responding emotionally to something that has happened earlier in the week? Are you anticipating your day in a positive or negative way? What does your general state of being feel like? Do this every so often to chronicle your journey.

People and Things Im Grateful For

In addition to the wonderful people in your life, make room to be grateful for the other special things as well. The talents you were gifted with, your home that gives shelter and comfort, a text from your best friend. There are things that we unconsciously appreciate each day. Wrack your brain and list as many as you can think of. By the way, make sure you are on your list too.

The Memories I Will Always Cherish

Imagine someone turned on the highlight reel of your life. What would they see? What are the striking, vivid memories that shine the brightest in your life? What emotions are associated with them? Is there any common link between these memories?

Things That Always Make Me Smile

Whether it be comedians, jokes, memes, YouTube videos, or friends, list the things that always make you smile inside the circles. Once you have this list, you can turn to it on the days when you are down.

I Would Describe My Personality and Sense of Humor As

Its funny how sometimes people see us differently than we see ourselves. Explore how you define yourself, then share it with a friend to see if their description is different.

Today, I Will Take the Time to Appreciate

List the things in your daily life that you want to give attention to and appreciate. A flower or tree you always pass on your way to work? The sound of silence? A friends talent? The way the sky looks at sunset? It could be anything that you dont regularly acknowledge.

I Will Always Remember When ____ Said _____

Words are powerful. Weve all had those times when peoples words made a strong impression on us and changed us in ways we didnt expect. Whether it was a stranger giving a speech, someone who gave you advice, your grandmother telling you something about yourself, something you overheard in the hallway, or anything else under the sun, journal about the times when someones words made a lasting impression.

Books, Movies, and Games That Give Me Comfort

We all have our favorites. Once you list yours, you will have something to come back to when you need some comforting TLC.

Acts of Kindness Ive Seen Lately

There are acts of kindness around us every day, no matter how small. Did you see someone open the door for someone else behind them instead of pretending to not see them? Did a driver show courtesy to you or someone else? Start noticing all the acts of kindness around you (do some yourself too!), and the world will grow much brighter.

The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intention.

Oscar Wilde

People I Can Call Whenever I Need Them

Who are the people that are always there for you? List them and youll have a resource handy whenever you have an internal emergency!
