What is everyday journaling?
What is Daily Journaling? Daily journaling is the act of thinking about your life and writing it down each day. No more, no less. It’s surprisingly simple, profoundly powerful and yet hardly anyone does it. I’ve spoken with many people who scoff at the idea of daily journaling being surprisingly simple. Writing, like anything, improves with practice. When you journal every day, you’re practicing the art of writing. And if you use a journal to express your thoughts and ideas, it can help improve your communication skills. Studies show it’s better to journal at night because it gives you an outlet for emotions and thoughts that might otherwise keep you awake. Even though there is sound scientific research to support the idea that journaling at night is better, many people prefer to journal in the morning. 100 words is a nice round number. 100 words a day, establishes a writing habit that could last a lifetime. 100 words a day actually gets projects done. You actually accomplish something, just by by persisting every day. Small habits add up, especially daily writing habits. Writing 1,000 words usually gives you enough content to publish a blog post. It’s a starting point, but your career can transform when you write at that frequency every day. One thousand words per day add up to 30,000 words per month or 365,000 words per year.

What is a daily gratitude journal?
What is a Gratitude Journal? A gratitude journal is, quite simply, a tool to keep track of the good things in life. No matter how difficult and defeating life can sometimes feel, there is always something to feel grateful for. In positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships. I am eternally grateful for all of the blessings I have in my life. I am happy and grateful for everything I have and receive daily. I constantly remind myself to enjoy all the good I have in my life right now. I express deep appreciation for the small steps I achieve each day. Journaling is the act of keeping a record of your personal thoughts, feelings, insights, and more. It can be written, drawn, or typed. It can be on paper or on your computer. It’s a simple, low-cost way of improving your mental health. It isn’t easy to start journaling. You might even make a list. Tracy also describes the four A’s of gratitude: appreciation, approval, admiration and attention. By incorporating these four elements into your life, you’ll boost your own self-esteem — and that of others. Writing, like anything, improves with practice.
