Think of these gratitude journal prompts like a treasure hunt. You're finding things other people miss. Use them to see what’s already working in your life so you can make more of *that* your reality. Be the one who notices the beauty, and then points it out to others. We need more of that.

A suggestion: don't just skim over what you’re grateful for in a list. The process won’t be as powerful and you won’t feel the shift. Follow up every “I am grateful” with a “because…”

Stay for the shift. Stay for the miracle. Dig for the treasure until you feel rich.

Your answers don’t need to be profound, just sincere: no blessing is too small.
