31 days of Gratitude

I love teaching journaling workshops.  I basically tell everyone to throw out any idea that they have about journaling and start fresh.  

There are so many different opportunities in journaling, one of them is to practise gratitude.  I read studies show that by doing this simple exercise daily you will have more alertness, enthusiasm, optimism, attentiveness, energy, more motivated, likeable, generous, helpful, more likely to volunteer and give back.

I think that those are all qualities that we would appreciate being described as - so my challenge for you is for the 31 days in October to share three things that you are grateful for.  I even created a printable that you can print off for yourself to be accountable for the next month.  Think about how beneficial this will be for you, your marriage and your family.  Print off a few copies and share them with your children, your friends, even your husband and grow together on this journey of creating a grateful heart and life.

If you were a part of this mornings Mom's Morning Out group I have also included the journaling hand out and the Thought for the Day wallpaper for your phone.  Thank you allowing me to share with you today.
