Four steps

How to print a gratitude journal

  1. 1

    Start from this form

    Opens on the gratitude journal: Date, Three things from today, as specific as you can make them, Someone who made today easier, and how and the rest.

  2. 2

    Put your own heading on it

    Replace "Gratitude Journal" with a name, a business or a date range.

  3. 3

    Set the row height

    12 rows at 6 mm fits more in; 14 mm suits a form filled in by hand.

  4. 4

    Print or save as PDF

    The most specific one you have is the line to get right.

Who prints this

Anyone whose gratitude list has quietly become the same three words every single evening.

The field that decides whether it works

The most specific one you have. The coffee on the way to the station does more work than family, because one is a thing that happened and the other is a category.

Why it is laid out this way

The prompts narrow as they go down the page: three things, then one person and how, then one thing ahead. Naming a person and a mechanism is much harder to answer on autopilot, which is exactly why it is the second question.

What is on the sheet

5 sections, in this order: Date; Three things from today, as specific as you can make them; Someone who made today easier, and how; Something you are looking forward to; a note. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 12 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the gratitude journal alongside 4 other forms on the wellness journal page.
