‘Tis the season to be thankful. But I’d argue that keeping a posture of gratitude is healthy all year long. We’ve heard the studies and we know the benefits of gratitude—but how do we tap into it daily? It’s so easy to get lost in our to-do lists and anxieties. No matter my best intentions, a gratitude practice is just not at the top of my list. However, with the power of a little habit stacking, I do tend to open my journal on most mornings. And calling on gratitude prompts is the fastest way to get me into the mindset I’m seeking—one that makes the mundane beautiful and gives me a true sense of gratefulness for this little life.

One thing that’s changed my perspective lately is to attempt to put more emphasis on people over things. I have a notebook full of gratitude entries that list out how much I love my coffee or this “lovely breeze we’re having.” This way of thinking certainly heightens my awareness of the world around me. However, the most powerful shift comes when I focus on the people in my life. From family to friends to co-workers and even run-ins with a kind stranger, truly meditating on what makes each person so meaningful has amplified the color of my world—and taken the spotlight off myself.
Here are 18 gratitude writing prompts to help harness your thankfulness in this season and the next.
