How To Gratitude Journal Beyond The Vanilla Way (Flavors Are Abound)

I feel like when I was first introduced to the “Gratitude Journaling World,” there was just the simple, vanilla, bland option of “write down 5 things that you are grateful for.” I am a person who: craves new flavors and experiences; I like to mix-and-match; paint the world as I need to see it, etc. if you catch my drift. I felt like there was a void of formats for expressing my gratitude through writing.

That’s why I’ve produced this article: for your optionality of expression.

Below I have offered four different gratitude journaling options for you—going from least to most time-consuming, heart-expanding, elaborate, cerebral, and illustrative. Some like it vanilla and some like it Baskin Robbins. Now you can pick your flavor and make it a playful practice of going deep.
