Do you write in a gratitude journal every night?

I don't do it every night. I do it every so often. I am studying though in my pyschology class that this can make you alot happier by doing so. I may need to try it every night. It may make me feel better.

I used to go to my journal whenever bad things happened to me.. and it used to be so much full of anger. But now I have one journal to write down what I did, felt, and even ate (for my health) and another where I just write whatever I want in detail.... I haven't gone around to do the gratitude journal yet though, I may just add it from today.

I have developed a grateful attitude to the universe as soon as I get up in the morning and before I sleep at night. I didn't keep a gratitude journal then. But I have started a gratitude journal a couple of days ago. It's a positive leap to something loftier. With a grateful heart "a glass is always half-full", not "half-empty"; You swat the entrance of jealousy in your mind in the manner that you would swat a fly hovering over your head; You explode the bubble of worry because you believe that you are just building on many different good things that you already have in your life. When I heard a lame woman speak about the disability of the spirit that we should guard against, it was then that I realized I have a lot to be grateful for.

The idea of a gratitude journal is good. It puts gratitude deliberately in our consciousness. At the moment, I don't have a gratitude journal but every morning and evening I enumerate the things that I am thankful for. There are so many things to be thankful about, I realized after weeks of being conscious of the attitude of thankfulness. The fact that I am alive and generally healthy is something to thank God about. My sanity, my capacity to be loving and tolerant, my positive attitude, my good thoughts about other people, the cool shower in the bathroom, the fuel in the kitchen, my healthy face.....and so many other things to be happy about, makes me a better human being. Gratitude makes me see a glass as half-full and not as half-empty. It makes me see the things that I need to share with other people. Without the attitude of being thankful, our human heart will always look for what we do not have. Being grateful makes us feel abundant and when we think abundance, we attract abundance!

What a wonderful idea. No, I don't have a gratitude journal. I do however list off everything I am grateful for when I say my prayers at bedtime. It would be nice to write it down though to make it more solid. I think I will start adding this to my regular journal as well. Thanks for the great inspiration.
