Twenty Gratitude Journal Prompts for Busy Weeks
A gratitude journal works best when it is small enough to fit into a busy day. These prompts are designed to be answered in a sentence or two.
Prompts about people
- Who made my day easier today?
- Who did I hear from that I was glad to hear from?
- What kind words have I received recently?
Prompts about small things
- What did I eat or drink that I really enjoyed?
- What was the best five minutes of today?
- Which ordinary object made my day easier?
Prompts about yourself
- What did I handle better than I expected?
- What am I learning at the moment?
- What did I do for myself today?
How to use them
Pick one prompt each evening, or choose a favourite and stick with it for a week. If a day feels hard, writing even a single line is enough. The goal is practice, not perfection.
