Keeping a gratitude journal is your first step towards being truly grateful in life. Every day is a new opportunity to give thanks of so many things. It is actually too many for you to remember them one by one at the end of your day. This makes the gratitude journal a handy companion in your effort to live life in gratitude. Why is it important to give thanks? Well, first of all it makes life more beautiful. A famed author once said that gratitude is the memory of the heart. Gratitude is both an emotion and an action word that fills your soul with happiness and delight. Why not keep track of everything that is worthy of thanksgiving?
If you are in the path of applying the law of attraction in your life and living a lie of true abundance and happiness then keeping a gratitude journal is a must-do. It allows you to have an exhaustive list to keep that fire of gratitude burning inside you - the secret to keep the law of attraction working for you everyday.
Gratitude in depth
Do not just write a list of things to be thankful for. Go deeper than just the numbers and try to expound on the items you are writing in your list. This makes the journal more engaging and personal to you, making it easier for you to be happy and truly thankful as you review the entries you have in your journal. It is easy to list your spouse on the journal but it would be better if you can write down the reason behind that entry. Is it because of a beautiful bouquet of flowers from him? Is it a simple but delicious meal from her? These can be huge highlights in your day that can go a long way in making your heart overflow with thanksgiving.
Writing as a habit
Keeping a gratitude journal demands commitment from you to write in entries as often as you can. You can keep a schedule and stick to it. You can choose to write on the journal every day, thrice a day, or if you are very busy, thrice a week. Be sure to set a schedule you can stick with for a long time. This will make the journal well kept up and also help you build up a habit that is not intrusive and burdensome to you. When you look at keeping a gratitude journal as work and too demanding it would defeat the whole purpose of keeping one.
Take time to read and reflect
The gratitude journal is only a means to an end, not an end in itself. You need to dedicate time to read through your entries and reflect on the attracting abundance to your life. This builds up that attitude of thanksgiving, enabling you to fully maximize the journal. The entries can easily uplift your soul and gets you in a position of positive expectation. Imagine having an accurate record of all the good things that happened to you. It can be a good tool in snapping out of negative thoughts and emotions.
