I can’t tell you who or how I learned about keeping a daily gratitude journal, but I am glad that I do. Here are my 5 reasons why:  

1. The Pandemic has led to social separation from friends. With the journal, you’ve got an easy way of remembering to call or have a zoom conversation. 
2. During mood shifts from being sheltered in place, going back to any page you’ve written earlier will boost your spirits.
3. In the process of growing, learning, and contributing, you’ll have your personal way of appreciating how you’ve been pivoting and the differences you’ve made.
4. With your gratitude journal, you’ll be able to notice the activities you’ll want to continue doing as an enterprise or as a habit.
5. Choosing to write about what you are grateful for when there are so many things that must be excluded will give you a break that you probably need and deserve.
