The daily stresses of life can wear us down, leaving us feeling overwhelmed or burned out. Studies have shown that gratitude can counteract these negative feelings, and a gratitude journal is a great place to start. 

These handy gratitude journal prompts will help you tap into what you’re thankful for, alleviate stress and establish a sustainable daily gratitude routine.

Gratitude journaling involves writing down what you’re grateful for. Most people who use gratitude journals write a short entry each day. These daily entries can help you feel grateful for the things in your life—from simple pleasures to complex emotions.

As you work on your journal, you’ll notice gratitude becoming a personality trait. Practicing gratitude can make life easier, prompting you to step back and appreciate the good things. In addition, research suggests gratitude journaling can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and even benefit heart health.

You can create your journal from scratch or use a gratitude journal template to help you get started. Journal templates typically use daily gratitude prompts to inspire you, and there are plenty of ideas online to get your ideas flowing.

To avoid making this another obligatory item on your to-do list, frame gratitude journaling as a beneficial activity—reminding yourself of the intellectual and emotional value of focusing on the good. 

You can use these prompts daily or weekly to help you feel better, less stressed and more appreciative. To get the most out of the gratitude journal prompts in this roundup—and to maximize your journaling time—try these tips:
