Top Gratitude Journal Prompts for Mental Wellbeing

(Last Updated On: December 20, 2021)

It’s gratitude journal prompts that can help us with our wellbeing.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” This anonymous quote has never stopped resonating with me. In a society rife with consumerism and ‘owning more is better,’ the holistic key to happiness in recent years seems to more related to simply being happy with what you have.

Yes, it is easier said than done, but practising gratitude and training the mind to think in this way might not be as inaccessible and difficult as you might think. Life is a series of moments and our happiness depends on how we see these moments. If we look at them from a perspective of gratitude, positivity and abundance we will be much happier than seeing them from a more negative perspective.

So how do we change our thinking and practise gratitude?

There isn’t just one way to practise gratitude but gratitude journaling and journaling, in general, is one of the best things to do to get started. Incorporating gratitude journaling into every single day, through these gratitude journal prompts is a great reminder to think about what we are grateful for each day and in turn, change our perspective towards appreciating the little things in life no matter how small they are.

WHAT IS PRACTISING GRATITUDE?

Gratitude is essentially being happy with, thankful and finding joy in the simple things around you.

In today’s busy, constantly connected world, it’s easy to compare ourselves to others (especially on social media) and to what they have which leaves us feeling empty, unsatisfied and unfulfilled. The fact of the matter is that most of us already have everything we need to make our lives happy. If you have a loving family, enough money to buy food and the things you need, a roof over your head then you’re already richer than you think. While many may argue that that’s simply not enough for a rich and fulfilling life, the key is how to look at both the negative and positive things in life.

By practising gratitude we become aware of the small things, the everyday things that we shouldn’t take for granted and by realising what we have and how much, gives us a space where we can feel rich, fulfilled and much happier than we would otherwise.

Practising gratitude and being grateful doesn’t mean however that you can’t dream of a better life and want more. Perhaps you’re in a good position currently but you want a better job, more money and to travel more and that’s ok. The key is to not take for granted what you already have, to realise it’s worth and be thankful and enjoy the little things in life.

There are many different ways to practise gratitude and you are free to choose your favorite way. Some of them include:

  • Gratitude journaling and writing lists of things you are grateful for.
  • Meditation around the positive parts of your life
  • Having conversations with friends and family about what you are grateful and thankful for
  • Noticing and appreciating the little things in life, like the taste of a wonderful fruit
  • Giving something to someone or doing something for someone to express gratitude
  • Prayer

THE BENEFITS OF GRATITUDE

More and more studies are beginning to show the correlation between gratitude or grateful feelings and wellbeing. Experiencing gratitude and appreciation generally tends to foster most positive feelings to contributes to better mental health and overall wellbeing. There are several benefits to practising gratitude that can have a profound effect on your life.

Better relationships

One of the top things we have to be grateful for is the people in our lives. Family and friends who are there for us when things go downhill, the community that supports and elevates us no matter what. Through the practice of gratitude, we begin to appreciate these amazing people and their positive effects on our lives and we begin to not take them for granted. Through this shift, we pay more attention to the people in our lives, give more of ourselves to them which in turn helps to build stronger and better relationships.

Another way to practise gratitude is through talking to members of our circle and community. By opening up to them and sharing what we are grateful for we become more vulnerable and open with the people we care about which allows us built better and stronger relationships based on appreciation and trust.

Improved mental health

Practising gratitude, which includes gratitude journaling has been linked to improved mood and the easing of stress and anxiety. By being more aware of the abundance of our lives and being thankful for it, our mindset changes as we begin to realise what’s really important. Focusing on those things might mean that those irrelevant things we worried about in the past- the ones that cause anxiety- no longer need our energy and attention.

Increase immune system

Stress, anxiety, leading a busy life all work to weaken the immune system. This alone can have impacts on general wellbeing as it will affect your response to viral infections and how quickly your body is able to fight off just about anything. A daily gratitude practice has been linked to decreasing stress and anxiety, and this along with a healthy diet and lifestyle can actually help to strengthen and increase the immune system- something we could all do with at this point in time.

Improved mindset and outlook on life

By practising gratitude we see life with more positivity, thankfulness and well, gratitude. This improved mindset to essentially look at situations and events in life with more positivity will also change your outlook on life. While this might take a bit of time to get the hang of fully, using these gratitude journal prompts today will, no doubt get you started and on your way to better mental health and wellbeing.

TOP DAILY GRATITUDE JOURNAL PROMPTS

Apart from the more obvious things in life to be grateful for such as health, family and friends, shelter and a job, it can sometimes be difficult to think of things to be thankful for. The truth is that you can be thankful for the smallest of things.

This is where these top positive journal prompts come in to make the process easier. Using them in your daily life can help you uncover things to be thankful for that you may not think of otherwise. They allow you to be in the present moment as well as recall positive past memories and experiences on a regular basis. With a mixture of gratitude prompts and gratitude focused questions, you can use these to help you expand your mind and help you discover all the great things you have to be grateful for.

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. 
But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits:

-Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. 

- For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread

- You can see the city wake up. This is often the best time to be out anyway with fewer crowds and great light. 

- You contribute a little more to the local economy and local independent cafes, street spots and individual business owners. 💜

- If you're plant-based you'll know how limiting the average hotel breakfast can be so it's better to head to a vegan-friendly cafe instead. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where do you prefer eating breakfast when travelling? Are you team hotel or team cafe?

Memories from California ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been so nice having more time over the last month to look through and revisit all the photos from some really memorable trips to California, I've been sitting on for a while now. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's one of my favourite shots from Pioneertown, a place I had no idea about until 3 hours before we rocked up right in time for sunset. I really wish I had bought my cowboy boots along for this one.

Don’t mind me while sit in the middle of the jungle here, breathing in the fresh sea breeze and eating all the fresh fruit I just found at the market.

Because travel isn’t about just scratching off as many countries as possible, it’s about taking your time to fully embrace each one. Wouldn’t you agree?

Some of the most beautiful places are right on your doorstep. 

Having lived in England for so long I can now safety say that I took for granted want was on my doorstep for a very long time. I also chose to explore far and wide in favor of sunnier and hotter destinations at a much lower latitude. 

Coming back now after almost 10 years of living and prioritizing destinations outside Europe I definitely have a new found appreciation for this. These cobblestone streets, these medieval buildings steeped in history and tales of murder and some of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture in the world. 

My blog post ‘A Perfect Canterbury day trip from London’ is now live on the blog. It’s my first piece on England since 2019. 
Canterbury is under 2 hours from London and if you’ve yet to go then, seriously, don’t wait any longer. 

You don’t have to travel far to find the most beautiful of places.

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. 
But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂

Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits:

-Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. 

- For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread

- You can see the city wake up. This is often the best time to be out anyway with fewer crowds and great light. 

- You contribute a little more to the local economy and local independent cafes, street spots and individual business owners. 💜

- If you're plant-based you'll know how limiting the average hotel breakfast can be so it's better to head to a vegan-friendly cafe instead.

Where do you prefer eating breakfast when travelling? Are you team hotel or team cafe?

Hotel breakfast or skip the hotel breakfast? ☕️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I don't know about you guys but recently I've been getting into the habit of skipping the less-than-average hotel breakfast and heading out for more local options when travelling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Of course, hotel breakfasts are super convenient and when in an amazing resort that supplies quality, healthy food I'll always go for that. But recently I've found that in your average hotel the breakfasts are also average and I'm not prepared to waste one of my meal times on average food. 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hitting the street for breakfast has plenty of benefits: -Discover new breakfast foods from different cultures around the world. - For healthy eating, you can head to a cafe with healthy options and not have to be faced with nothing but a cheap slice of bread - You can see the city wake up.

Memories from California ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's been so nice having more time over the last month to look through and revisit all the photos from some really memorable trips to California, I've been sitting on for a while now. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's one of my favourite shots from Pioneertown, a place I had no idea about until 3 hours before we rocked up right in time for sunset. I really wish I had bought my cowboy boots along for this one.

Don’t mind me while sit in the middle of the jungle here, breathing in the fresh sea breeze and eating all the fresh fruit I just found at the market.

Because travel isn’t about just scratching off as many countries as possible, it’s about taking your time to fully embrace each one. Wouldn’t you agree?

After a whole month in London focused purely on work, writing and completing various projects I’m finally back in the travel game and heading to my first European destination in almost 3 years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make sure to follow along on stories for the next few days for charming medieval castles, gothic churches, healthy food finds and more as I navigate a city and country I haven’t been to back to in 12 years. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh and ain’t California pretty!? 🥰

Wanna know a really amazing way to feel refreshed, calm the mind, connect with yourself and the natural environment and promote general wellness? Something that's free too?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GET OUTSIDE. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whatever you do this weekend, make sure to take a break from the screen, get some Vitamin D, get outside into nature and just play. Let the natural world feed your soul ✨🌿

Some of the most beautiful places are right on your doorstep. 

Having lived in England for so long I can now safety say that I took for granted want was on my doorstep for a very long time. I also chose to explore far and wide in favor of sunnier and hotter destinations at a much lower latitude. 

Coming back now after almost 10 years of living and prioritizing destinations outside Europe I definitely have a new found appreciation for this. These cobblestone streets, these medieval buildings steeped in history and tales of murder and some of the most amazing examples of Gothic architecture in the world. 

My blog post ‘A Perfect Canterbury day trip from London’ is now live on the blog. It’s my first piece on England since 2019. 
Canterbury is under 2 hours from London and if you’ve yet to go then, seriously, don’t wait any longer. 

You don’t have to travel far to find the most beautiful of places.
