Gratitude Challenge

I imagine, if you are like me, you are grateful for many things. But everyone still has room to grow and learn. Not just about themselves but also about those around them. I made this challenge to help you learn more about yourself, step out of your comfort zone and really notice those around you, and to become better acquainted with your friends and neighbors.

I challenge you to get a Gratitude Journal and keep track of all your high points, good moments and things you are grateful for. This 30-day Gratitude Challenge is a great jump start for you to give you ideas on what to write or do every day to help you look for the good and positive things in life and change your perspective.

Print your Gratitude Challenge or save the image to your phone and set it as your screen saver or background.

I hope you really work on this challenge every day. Take time to sit down, and think about the challenge and write a thoughtful answer. Or do the challenge (like treats or being friendly) as best you can.

I would love to know if you have other suggestions for more ways to show gratitude. I would love to add them to the challenge next year. Also, your thoughts and ideas as you go through this!
