About Gratitude Practice
Practicing gratitude isn't just 'positive thinking' — it's a habit you can build. Researchers including Dr. Robert Emmons and Martin Seligman have studied gratitude and well-being, and their work inspires the approach in this workbook — a method of noticing positive moments in your life.
Most people stop journaling because they repeat the same few items. This workbook encourages specific, varied reflection to keep your practice fresh and meaningful over time.
This workbook is for anyone who wants to feel more content, connected, and resilient in daily life — whether you're dealing with stress, negativity, comparison, or simply want to cultivate a more positive mindset. No prior experience with journaling or mindfulness is needed. The PDF is also tablet-friendly for GoodNotes, Notability, and Adobe Acrobat.
Gratitude works best alongside other reflective practices. We recommend pairing this workbook with our Mindfulness Workbook — mindfulness helps you notice the moments worth being grateful for.
