Sophia Godkin PhDThe 5-Minute Gratitude Journal: Give Thanks, Practice Positivity, Find Joy

This gratitude journal is a great way to end my day on a positive note. The prompts are thought provoking and over time help increase my positivity. I like that that prompts are short and easy to do, but different on each page.

This book has helped me sooo much!The layout if very well put together. Its so short and I love how there's a space for the date so you can go back and read things you put before. The quotes at the bottom are also a great touch to help keep your head up and inspired to continue to also we grateful! Such a great book for anyone struggling to look at the positive. It forces you to do so.

This journal makes it easy to build a daily gratitude habit. The prompts are short and thoughtful, so it only takes a few minutes to fill out, but it really helps shift your mindset in a positive way. The layout is clean, and the size makes it easy to keep on a nightstand or desk. A great tool for mindfulness and self-care.

Great thought-provoking prompts on each page! I have thoroughly enjoyed picking up this journal each day since I received it.

What do I like? The prompts for each day, they challenge me to think in a way I might not otherwise. The short format; if it were a long journal page, I might not do it. The little sayings at the top and bottom of each page.What don't I like? Some of these prompts assume I have a good day or that I can feel positive about myself. Some days, that is simply not the case. I have only used it for about ten days, so I haven't run into the repetitiveness others have mentioned, though the same questions are asked in different ways already.I ordered more anyway. I will share with friends, especially those who don't like journaling but would like to give it a try. I have another journal with prompts, but they are the same prompts for every single day; I like that one for different reasons. If I have a prompt that I can't answer for that day, I try to think of a time when it did apply. It's ok to look back and remember something that may be encouraging or helpful today. Also, it today was a really bad day, I write that but look for anything that was positive: a text from a friend, a card in the mail, a phone call, sunshine, and the more broad categories like the ability to read and write.An additional way that I use this is to add a bible verse on each page that goes along with the saying(s) on that page. This helps me to stay in the bible, and I like finding that there are verses that neatly match those sayings. When I'm stumped on a prompt, sometimes the answer can be found in that verse. Just a thought :)One final thought: I think it's entirely appropriate to write that I just can't answer that prompt today. Perhaps it's too painful, perhaps it's an area I struggle with and am overwhelmed, or in some way it doesn't "fit me" today. How can that help? I like to re-read what I've written every few days, and I can see the struggle and then - hopefully - the progress.

I like the idea of the prompts. They repeat themselves after a while but that is ok. Life changes and new experiences happen. I’ll be getting it again when I fill this one up.

Love this journal. I wanted a gratitude journal that had a mix of prompts instead of just the same “list 3 things you’re grateful for” over and over. While I have noticed some of the prompts do repeat, it’s not something that I feel detracts from the journal, and there is typically enough space between prompts that it would seem more like Deja vu.

This little gratitude book is fantastic! For such a small price, it’s an absolute steal. I really appreciate the thoughtful prompts—each day offers a different set of statements that truly make me reflect. I love writing in it. Often, after I finish the day’s entry, I feel so inspired that I continue journaling in more detail on my own. It’s a great tool for personal growth. I really hope the author creates a 2.0 version. Thank you, Sophia Godkin!
