The "Gratitude Journal" is a tool designed to cultivate a mindset of thankfulness and positivity through consistent journaling. It serves as a dedicated space to record things you appreciate in your life, ranging from simple everyday moments to significant blessings. The practice encourages focusing on the good and shifting perspective from what one lacks to what one has.
Gratitude journals come in various formats, including physical notebooks and digital apps. Many manufacturers and retailers offer them, such as Papier US, Clever Fox Planner, Sugar Paper, Pockitudes, MiGoals, DesignWorks Ink, and Promptly Journals. These journals often include guided prompts, inspirational quotes, and space for daily reflection. Key features include undated pages for flexibility, premium paper to prevent bleed-through, and durable covers. Some journals offer additional features like habit trackers, wellness checks, and affirmation builders.
The price range for gratitude journals varies. Some guided journals at Target sell for around $10-$13. Papier's gratitude journals are priced at $29.75, while Sugar Paper and DesignWorks Ink offer them for around $30 and $26, respectively. Depending on the brand and retailer, availability can range from in-stock to sold out. Gratitude journals are available through various online platforms like Etsy, Walmart, Amazon, and Staples, as well as directly from manufacturers' websites.
