Friday Freebie: Gratitude Page

family freebie resources Jul 31, 2020

Gratitude is a bit of a buzz word again, isn't it? As we are faced with a lot of fear and change, isolation and information, I figured it might be a good time to share one of my favourite mental health tools...

I first started consciously practicing gratitude when I read Simple Abundance in 1995. More than any other tool, gratitude has helped improve my mood and mindset consistently during the past 26 years of motherhood. Gratitude journals, gratitude meditations, gratitude lists, gratitude apps - I've tried them all! I also like to ask my children about their favourite part of their day, an outing, a trip, or an activity.

Today's freebie is a gratitude worksheet - a big brainstorming session you can do alone or with your children, family or friends. Afterwards, if you don't already, you might like to try recognising "three things" you're grateful for, do this in any way you like - on your phone or a notebook, out loud or in your head before you sleep each night for at least a couple of weeks...
