Gratitude Pages - Filling The Creative Well - Blog Series

 


Gratitude Pages

Gratitude has the power to change our perspective. When we pause to notice what we’re thankful for, we shift from a lack mindset to one of appreciation and satisfaction.  It is a great idea to start a gratitude journal where you can list and reflect on what you are grateful for.

A few years ago I created a ‘Gratitude and Celebration’ Journal and on a regular basis wrote about the things that I was grateful for and created a journal page with an image.  You can check out the video where I do a flip through.


What can you try?

Create a gratitude page. You might begin with a list, a sketch, a series of symbols or images that reflect what you’re grateful for today. Think of the small things that often go unnoticed -  your morning cup of tea, a bird’s song, a cool breeze and so much more.

Use colors, collage and add textures to express the gratitude, or frame your words with decorative borders, look at what you have and don’t hold back.

Return to your gratitude pages often. Over time, they are great reminders that will take you out of a slump on those rough days.

Takeaway Nuggets:

  1. Gratitude nurtures joy and strengthens creativity.
  2. Documenting appreciation deepens its impact.
