MRC Gratitude Journal

gratitude A GRATITUDE JOURNAL 1

gratitude noun the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.

instructions Use your gratitude journal to capture moments that bring you joy or calm. You can use the prompts provided or simply jot down what you want to keep with you.

Every month or so, read over your entries and relive the big and little experiences you’ve had to increase a positive mindset at work.

Although this is meant to be used however best suits you, here are a few suggestions to keep in mind: • No entry is “too small” - write down anything that you deem worthy • Entries can be about other individuals. Perhaps you saw a close colleague get recognition for their hard work and that lifted your spirits.

• Consider absence as well as presence. For example, “Today had fewer interruptions, so I felt more productive.”

• Quality over quantity - spend energy on being as specific as you can about each entry, rather than pushing yourself to have a high number for the sake of having a high number.
