 | Take a few minutes and think about the things you are grateful for in your life. Think about the people you are grateful for. Think about places. Think about events.

| 1 | Normal Journal |
| I don't think you need a separate "Gratitude" journal. It is important to keep a normal journal. Start out each day with what you are grateful for. Then also have a section on what you have learned. These things quickly add up.
