Hello Crafting Friends,
Today I am sharing a Tutorial for “How to Make a Gratitude Journal”. This is a series of Videos and Tutorials focusing on the creation of a Gratitude Journal.
What is a Gratitude Journal?
A Gratitude Journal is a book where you can record and reflect on the things that you are most grateful for. It helps you to rewire your brain to focus more on the positive aspects of your life. It helps you to build up resilience against negative situations.
The world at the moment is a little crazy right now. With Covid and Lockdowns I am finding that it is affecting my ability to stay positive, happy and to focus on gratitude. I have also felt that I haven’t been crafting as much lately. I really want to get back into my crafting. Crafting makes me happy.
For this project I have spent some time putting together some digital images and papers to cheer myself up. This has inspired me to allow myself some crafting time and to scrap what I am grateful for. I am calling it My Happiness Project. But what it really is, is a Gratitude Journal with a little bit of scrapbooking and a little bit of colouring thrown in.
What does a Gratitude Journal do for you?
Writing in a Gratitude Journal is good for your mental and physical health. There is research that shows writing down what you are thankful for can reduce stress, help you sleep better and may even reduce your risk of heart disease!
