Unleash Your Creativity: Explore These Free Writing Prompts
Writing in a journal takes practice, self-discipline and energy. The same can be said for gratitude and the science is clear – committing to a written practice that lists your reasons to be grateful has more benefits than simply thinking or speaking about your reasons to be grateful. Grassroots Gratitude believes that taking time, making space in your busy day to centre yourself and write longhand in the privacy of your pages is an undervalued skill which may be essential to busy leaders in today’s times and places.
Whether you are reluctant, curious, apprehensive or uncertain about the practice, because you have already tried and discarded the habit of keeping a journal OR you are a lapsed journal writer and know that it takes time and energy OR you are a skeptic and self-described bad writer who is too busy… If you can find a little bit of curiosity about writing, deepening your positivity quotient in life, and customizing your personal gratitude practice simultaneously – consider working with Lorraine. And you can start today!
