120 Gratitude Journal Prompts with Free Printable

These journaling prompts are are great way to help you focus on mindfulness and help you to be present and grounded. I tried to focus on self reflection journal prompts that think about growth and mental health as well. It is easy to get superficial with gratitude and just say I’m thankful for this thing that I have. But focusing on opportunities for growth and things you’ve learned from relationships with others is a great way to find true gratitude. What journal prompt questions did we miss? Let us know if you think of more and we may add them to the post.

Paper

I often get asked what paper I recommend. For regular copy paper this 5 ream case of paper is one of the better deals. For cardstock I really like this card stock paper on amazon. It is much cheaper than I have found in stores and has a good thickness for most projects without being so thick that it jams the printer.
